Great library AND can't find a place to recommend a purchase, A Place Called Home, by David Ambroz, who was brought up in the foster care system. So many homeless are on our streets and we need to know their experiences. Here are some comments on the book: "It's impossible to read A Place Called Home and not want to redouble your efforts to fight the systems of poverty that have plagued America for far too long. In this book, David shares his deeply personal story and issues a rousing call to make this a more humane and compassionate nation."―Hillary Rodham Clinton "A Place Called Home presents an unflinching, frank examination of the realities of being a child without a home and being surrounded by a fundamentally flawed system where neither child nor parent have enough help, or the right help, to break the cycle of poverty. Ambroz’s story is a frightening example of how easily inadequate procedures and policies traumatize lives each and every day. The heart of this first memoir is both a raw account of Ambroz’s journey to adulthood and a powerful, uncompromising call to action for significant change." ―Booklist "Riveting. . . A haunting, inspiring chronicle of fortitude and perseverance." ―Kirkus, Starred Review “[A] captivating debut…Galvanizing and compassionate, this personal account of survival should be required reading.”―Publishers Weekly

I don't think so at all

Are private rooms available for meetings?

There is one space in nearly every branch of the SCL called the 'forum room' or 'community room' where events are held but I am uncertain if you can reserve it for meetings - it is utilized for community events, as a polling place, etc.
