There should be a better solution for homeless people than for them to have to overrun places like that. It's sad, and detrimental to all sides. That's crazy to think about how it used to be a place that could stay open like you said, and then turned into something else that wasn't able to because of external influences and impacts.

Where's the resiliency?

There's got to be some kind of proactive way of dealing with an issue like this vs. going the 'limit hours' route, which harms the accessibility of everyone. This is probably affecting a lot of libraries right now.
