I have a topic I am interested in - book theft.
Without a security system how do you prevent people from walking out with your books?
I am thinking about banning book bags.
The worst thefts have been the school yearbooks. Without putting them behind locked doors & making the individuals check them out to look at them at a table in front of me, I don't know how to protect them.
Any ideas?
I would put them in a special place and make them non-circulating so they have to be used in library only. This would also enable you to pull them for individuals instead of them taking them off the shelves themselves. I'm working on setting up an archive to store items like this and enable me to keep better track of things I don't want to leave the library. Just my thoughts....
