Library Security Cameras
by Director 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Good afternoon, My Township is in the process of setting up a security camera system (we share the same building) and they are (heavily) recommending that the Library puts in security cameras at the same time. We are a relatively small Class 2 library with a rural, conservative community. My Board is divided on having security cameras in the Library and I would love to know how other libraries have tackled this issue. Do you have security cameras in your library or are you planning to install them? What class size library are you? How does the public react to a library with security cameras in place? If you installed them recently, did you receive any comments/concerns from patrons regarding implications of increased surveillance? Do your security cameras deter patrons from coming to your library or do they increase the feeling of safety in the building? Is your staff comfortable with security cameras monitoring them? Are there any legal issues you have run into because of having security cameras? Issues with full or partial coverage? Any other relevant information would be greatly appreciated. I would be happy to compile responses and share results on michlib if there is interest. Thank you, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org
