The men’s restrooms at Evansville Vanderburgh Public Libraries have been stocked with feminine hygiene products that are dispensed free of charge from vending machines. A sign on the machines says: “Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is proud to provide FREE hygiene products for all library patrons in an effort to improve hygiene equity in Vanderburgh County.”
The machine in the men’s room offers a choice of free tampons or pads.
County Commission President Justin Elpers sent a letter to the library director yesterday (3/24) seeking the removal of the machines. “The costs associated with this purchase, installation, and stocking of these dispensers represent an unnecessary expenditure of taxpayer dollars.” The letter said, “As President of the Vanderburgh County Commission, I am formally requesting the removal of all women’s hygiene dispensers from the men’s restrooms in all Vanderburgh County Public Library facilities.”
I’ll be the first to ask. Why do we need a feminine hygiene product dispenser in a Men’s bathroom?
And while they’re at it, what is “hygiene equity”?
