The city initially cited public health and safety concerns as the reason for the crackdown, saying an increase in the number of threats and violent incidents near the library have made it uncomfortable for families and visitors. The city later requested all charitable food service be moved down the street to 61 Riesner Street, also known as the old Houston Police Headquarters.
