Library expert Bruce Shuman uses the conversational narrative to portray 40 security and safety issues that may arise in libraries, disturbing or vexing patrons and library staff alike. This approach is designed to make reading about library security not just informative but also interesting and fun. The case studies are accompanied by discussion questions, vividly dramatized to help readers prepare for similar challenges should they occur in their workplaces."--Jacket.
