We don't have a security system either. During our remodel, it was considered more expensive than replacing missing materials.

100% scrap it! They are so unwelcoming in any space and way too expensive to keep up. I do not regret not having a security system.

Hi all,

I'm looking for professional input on a decision and knew I could do no better than consulting the collective wisdom of our group!

I have a 20 year plus tattle tape system in our library.  The detectors pick up not only books that haven't been desensitized but also teacher laptops, sometimes key rings, random people with nothing in their pockets.  Kids and teachers have been jumpy just going through the gates because of it.  I unplugged it this fall and no one has even remarked about the system NOT going off all the time.

Here's the sticking point:  the library is going through an asbestos abatement this summer and we will get new flooring at that time.  The head of maintenance wants to know if I want to keep and reinstall the system given I have unplugged it.  It represents a large investment of money, but from considerably long ago.  I hate spending the money on tattle strips and the huge 3M resensitizer should be replaced due to age and malfunctioning but it costs over $1000 to replace.  We don't have a huge theft issue at our rural school of 650 students.  Should I scrap the system or keep it?

Thanks so much in advance for your opinions!
