Decision to arm library guards in AZ sparks debate
The question of whether libraries need armed security guards has caused a furor in Gilbert.
The controversy began after the Maricopa County Library District, which operates Gilbert’s two libraries, reinstated security guards last month at the Southeast Regional Library.
The decision to reinstate and arm the security guards followed complaints by staffers who were confronting rising incidents of theft and increasingly hostile encounters with irate patrons over late fees and other issues.
