[ISLMA-Share] surveillance cameras in school library?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Because we have several HS events and tournaments in our middle school
building, I have had a camera in the room for about ten years.  I haven't
had any problems.  It is great for giving the teachers a reason to return
equipment at the end of the day.

The only person who complained is a janitor who was caught napping on the
library sofa during evening work hours.
