A2 • Friday, February 7, 2020 | Seaside Signal | SeasideSignal.com Haircuts and help for the homeless Event provides a ‘safe place’ By R.J. MARX Seaside Signal Free bus rides for stu- dents, anywhere in the county. Hair cuts. Dental services. Housing assistance. Even programs at the library.

We have things like our paperback exchange, our magazines are all free.” Homeless people come to the library for shelter, she said. “On a rainy, stormy day they’re going to come in and hang out sometimes as long PUBLIC SAFETY LOGS SEASIDE POLICE DEPT.
