Libraries take measures against increasing nuisance: ‘We are not there for public order’

Libraries take measures against increasing nuisance We are not there

Zeist – Swearing, intimidating, destroying. Libraries and cultural centers are increasingly confronted with visitors who cannot behave. At Kunstenhuis Idea in Zeist they have also seen an increase in nuisance recently. Measures have therefore been taken. Cameras, a security guard and doors that will now be locked should keep uninvited guests out. “This is bizarre. Public order is not our core business, we are there to encourage reading.”
