Forgetful readers
beware at Seycove!

One of the most expensive
and annoying problems fac-
ing a hbrary today is the loss
of books through their un-
authonzed removal from the
building.

A few of these books find
their way back to the
shelves, but the majority do
not, and have eventually to
be withdrawn from the
catalogue

Losses from libraries must
be counted in| more than
monetary terms missing
books are a source of incon-
venience and irritation to
patrons as well as a drain on
the library's staff time and
budget Worse, many books
are out-of-print or for other
reasons irreplaceable, and
their loss represents an infor-
mation pap that cannot be
castly filled

Users of

the Seveove

Branch of North Vancouver
Distnet Library may soon
expect to see book losses at
their library drastically
reduced. The hbrary, which
is shared by the District and
Seycove Community School,
is installing a security system
which has prosed very effec:
tive in reducing losses in
other lbranes throughout
North America

Similar systems are
already in use sn high schools
in North Vancouver, and in
several other public hbranes
in the Lower Mainland. The
system 1s safe. effective and
simple. and involves no ma-

yor change in library
routines
Books and other library

materials are checked out in
the usual way. but if a book
iworemoved from the hbrary
without being properly

charged out, an alarm will
sound.
Absent-mindedness and

thoughtlessness probably ac-
count for more book losses

than deliberate theft. the
alarm will act as both
reminder and_— deterrent.
Because the library 1s

located adjacent to both the
school and the community
wing. the system has been
designed so that books that
have already been checked
out need not be re-charged if

the patron” re-enters” the
library.
The only real difference

that most library patrons will
notice will be that the annoy-
Ing wait for “missing” books

will be eliminated The
library hopes to have the
system operational by the

beginning of the school year
in September
