Miriam B. Kahn is a consultant with a long-standing
interest in library security and planning. In this slim
volume, she has provided library managers with a
concise, practical guide designed to teach them how to
survey their facilities and protect libraries, their users,
and their contents from theft and damage. The book is
divided into three parts, with one each on building
security, security for collections and equipment, and
safety. It then concludes with a series of appendices
offering checklists relating to key elements of a security
program, sample forms for use in developing local
programs and a list readings and resources that can be
used to expand the understanding of readers about what
a program of this sort entails.
