Bucks County commissioners refuted rumors circulating on social media that they plan to convert a former law library in the Administration Building into a homeless shelter. Commissioners Diane Ellis-Marseglia, Gene DiGirolamo and Chairperson Bob Harvie addressed the claims during a recent public meeting. “The space is going to be used by Human Services to serve veterans and others seeking human services help,” Ellis-Marseglia said. The county opened a new law library in the Bucks County Justice Center in 2015. The older law library remained open in the Administration Building before closing recently during a consolidation with the new law library. According to Harvie, the consolidation was done with the approval of county courts, which are “statutorily required to operate a law library for legal staff, the public, the bar association and county officials.”
