Councillors Set To Discuss Surveillance At County Libraries

Smile for the camera. Libraries in Norwich and Thamesford will soon be equipped with security cameras. A report to County Council Wednesday is asking councillors to support adding cameras to the rural libraries. They would hopefully prevent the buildings from being vandalized, as they have in the past. And if there is property damage, the cameras would hopefully lead police to the culprits. Warden Don McKay points out that cameras have already been placed at other locations. "I know our new pavilion in Tavistock that we're just completing now, has six surveillance cameras built in to it. So that we want to, as a local community, ensure that the public asset is protected. I think it only makes good sense with the technology we have today to make that small investment to protect that public asset". The cameras will cost no more than $5000 per branch.
