The decision comes after months of what the city calls threatening and unsafe behavior by the unhoused community.
Long Beach city officials have implemented a new code of conduct that will be required at all public libraries, a decision they same comes on the heels of months of threatening an unsafe behavior by the unhoused community. Libraries throughout the city evidenced by the dozens of tents set up outside of the buildings to find overnight shelter.
'I think this is about make sure anyone can have free access to our libraries in a way that is safe,' said Mayor Rex Richardson at a city council meeting on Tuesday where the code of conduct was being discussed. Council members voted in favor of the ordinance, that now gives local libraries the power to ban disruptive guests.
