Your portrayal of libraries is inaccurate and overly negative. Library staff can ask people to leave, and if they refuse, staff can call the police and ban people like this from returning once they're removed. I grew up in libraries in suburban areas full of vagrants and junkies, and the few times they caused issues, they did what I described.

How do you speak so confidently for another’s experience? I go the library sometime, but I wouldn’t take my hypothetical daughter to my local library, or at least leave her unattended, because it truly is a daytime shelter with powerless staff.
