Defunct CCTV cameras aid book lifters at library

By Srinivas Reddy

HUBLI: A total of 16 CCTVs were installed at the Central Library in Lamington Road here in 2009. But within a year of installation, the cameras stopped working and have not been repaired ever since. 

This has led to the stealing of new books by some "readers" and has also become troublesome for girls who frequent the library. 

Despite repeated complaints to the department of public libraries, which is responsible for the maintenance of these cameras, no action has been taken to rectify the problem. Knowing well that the CCTV cameras are not functioning, some readers have started stealing books and creating trouble for other readers. In the absence of cameras, monitoring readers' activities and preserving the 18,000 odd books in the library has become a challenge for its staff.
