Judge rules public libraries can’t ban homeless people
A federal judge in Newark ruled that library rules barring loitering and appearances by homeless individuals are unconstitutional as they violate First Amendment rights. The decision targets the Joint Free Public Library of Morristown and Morris Township, stressing precise regulations over vague policy. The ruling affirms access to books and reading, while acknowledging libraries should not act as shelters or babysitters.
