The Noel Wien Library instituted a security position not because of real security concerns, but because of certain patrons who walked around constantly with their noses turned up towards the idea of having to share the library with certain other patrons.  So on the one hand, you have Fairbanks Police justifying this dude's existence with statements like "You know, we have a real problem in this town with drunk Natives", while on the other hand I see him tonight playing as Marc Brown's drummer during the street fair.  Talk about playing both sides against the middle.
