Police establish base in UK Library

Incidences of violence involving youths have grown so severe in one Swindon library that police have decided to set up base permanently in the facility as a deterrent. According to one report, library staff have been so besieged with threats and fights from abusive young people, some as young as 10 years old, that several children have been banned from the library, either permanently or for a period of several months. The Swindon Council has also agreed to provide access to on-call security guards for other librarians in the city system. More here.
