Query to readers: I'm working on an upcoming webcast for Infopeople on library policies and homeless people. What kinds of policy questions, especially legal, do librarians have? Experiences?
Any good resources would also be appreciated.

Recently a library had a (non-resident, ie. non-taxpaying) patron demand a card since "the 9th circuit court had passed a ruling that libraries can't deny cards because they (the library) don't have the legal resident's address or because the person is homeless." I've looked all over (FindLaw, justia etc) and can't find this ruling. Any info would be helpful!
