Wait, we're at this point in the book and Social Services is only *now* coming into the picture? Why didn't Sloane's boss tell her to call them before things escalated and Sloane lost her job? This book means well, but it is not very realistic. In a place where Social Services exists, there is no need for a library employee to get themselves fired over concerns about an elderly patron.

I tell you what, our library administration would never allow a patron to be this verbally abusive to their staff. Arthur would have been banned from our library a long time ago if he said to us any the cruel, demeaning things he says to Sloane. But I know not every library protects their staff the way ours does; we are very lucky.
