Library is raided More than 200 books came up missing between May, 1985 and January, 1986. The cost of replacing a missing book is about from $15 to $30 and the total cost for replacing these books range around $3,000 a year, according to Hugh Richardson, librarian. The budget cost used to operate the library is $27,000. A small amoumt of that is used for micro discs, supplies, equipment, etc.... Twenty -five percent of the budget is lost to stolen books. A total of 12,294 books and magazines were checked out of the library legally last year, ac- cording to Richardson. Many more are checked out illegally. Have you ever been stopped by the security system in the library? The security system is a very effective trap to stop any items belonging to the library from leaving the library without being checked out, but lately the system has been out- smarted more and more according to Richardson. The percentage of books being stolen has increased rapidly in the last few years. The students are finding different ways of getting the books out besides through the security system. In the mornings, sometimes you may find approximately 200 students at one time in the library, and when they all start leaving, a huge rush of exiting and entering occurs. Due to the lack of help working in the library, everyone can ' t be watched. Books can be passed around the security system. Perhaps someone watching the door at all times could cause a decrease in stolen books. It ' s a shame that the students have to take school items that belong to everyone, but there is a bright side to this story, At least they ' re stealing books instead of TOM MORRIS (above) with his books under his coat is about to be caught by the library security system.
