Camera Surveillance

The Library uses surveillance cameras to complement other measures to ensure a safe and secure environment for patrons and staff. The equipment helps to protect the library’s property against theft or vandalism and can assist in identifying intruders and persons breaking the law or violating the library’s Rules of Conduct.

Surveillance cameras are positioned to monitor public areas of the library that are not easily viewed from public service desks and staff areas where valuable library property is stored.  Surveillance cameras are not used in rest rooms, nor are they positioned to identify a person’s reading, viewing or listening activities in the library.

A sign is posted on the library’s outside door that the building is monitored by surveillance cameras.

Recorded information from security cameras is retained for up to one week, unless an incident occurs that requires holding the tape longer.  In the event of a reported or observed incident, the recorded information may be used to assist in the investigation of the incident.  The library will maintain control of and responsibility for the video security surveillance equipment at all times.
