Hello.  I have a question regarding how should public libraries treat homeless patrons who frequent libraries but do not usually take advantage of the library's resources.

Turn that question around:  what if your patrons who are not homeless frequent the library and don't take advantage of its resources?  Simply being in the library is taking advantage of a resource.  We should be worried more about what people do in the library than what they don't do.  Unless we want to start making a list of necessary behaviors.
