Photographing the St. Louis Central Branch Library

Today, I brought my camera to the refurbished City Library in downtown St. Louis. Such an exquisite building. I noticed quite a few homeless people sitting in the Great Hall. Many of them were just sitting quietly, and only a few were reading. When a guard passed by I commented, "It seems like a lot of folks are here because it's warm in here." He paused, then said, "The thing about those homeless people . . . [pause], is that [pause] many of them are really good at using the computers." He took me around the corner and showed me that none of the computer terminals were empty, and it seemed as though many of them were being used by homeless people.
