Security cameras installed at Delray Beach Public Library

Beware criminals! Big Brother is watching...
The Delray Beach Public Library, 100 W. Atlantic Ave., in downtown Delray Beach has installed a security camera at a high crime and traffic area on the north facade of the large, two-story building.
A camera is installed 10 feet above the library walkway, which includes benches, bike racks and tends to be a gathering place for children, the homeless and people passing by.
"We have over 2,000 people enter the library on a daily basis," said Library Director of Communications Bonnie Stelzer.
Library Director Alan Kornblau confirmed the security camera was put up by the library because of "thefts."
"We don't monitor the camera, but if something happens out front there we'll definitely take a look and hand it over to authorities."
Kornblau did not say how the camera was funded.
