Bathing in bathrooms? Nope. Libraries aren't bath-houses.
Sleeping in chairs? Sure, why not. The homed can do this too. But maybe not for hours at a time. Set reasonable limits.
Matters of personal hygiene are tricky. What to do with stinky, un-bathed or sloppy, in-continent drunks? Use the same litmus test as for the "homed" patrons.
