Anyone can walk out with books and DVDs and they will not be detected or stopped by any electronic alarm or detection device. I have observed people walk out with at least 10 DVD movies and not check them out. To me, this is a waste of taxpayer money. Shameful.
I am also disappointed with Boundless. If the Library is run by a contractor, does anyone know what county department oversees the contract? I have listed my complaints on the boundless app in it's feedback section, but with no results. No wonder if it is a contractor.
