Funny. You would think if a library does it, hospitals would. But then I guess most hospitals are run by corporations that don't want to spend any more money than they absolutely have to.
Also management of smaller municipal libraries can be influenced far more directly by local communities.
E.g. a few parents show up to city council meeting concerned re: teens vaping in bathrooms, request installation of multifunction detectors, line item is <$500, council agrees, done.
Hospitals on the other hand are often privately owned, the expense is higher, and the board has little incentive to open the floor to the public in the first place.
Not to mention that the moment the H in Healthcare is mentioned the price just increased a signifanct amount.
Not only are there signifanct legislative restrictions but also everything is just expensive when it comes to a hospital (barring things that are heavily subsidized, like diapers, for example).
