An unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an “Occupy” sit in.

The story tackles some of our nation’s most challenging issues, including homelessness and mental illness, and sets the ‘dramedy’ inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.
