(1004-07) REPORT: Assistant Library Director, June 20, 1994 Assistant Library Director Duffy provided background on the damage to the interior of the Library and advised that $20,000 had been spent on refinishing furniture so far and it will cost another $15,000 to repair further damage, including 14 ofthe 25 leather chairs in the Main branch. Mrs. Duffy advised that this money could have been used to buy 1,800 books, or 1,500 videos, or 3,000 CDs. Mrs. Duffy described the four-pronged approach the Library is taking to resolve this issue: 1) Prevention which relies on education and public relations campaigns; 2) Eradication, which utilizes the efforts of City staff and volunteers, as well as those of the offender; 3) Community support in the form of volunteer monitors, parental concern, school cooperation, business donations and media coverage; and 4) Penalties, which affirm that offenders will be arrested and may be required to pay restitution costs, perform community service tasks, lose certain privleges and to suffer other penalties as designated. Mrs. Duffy described the effectiveness of the Library's part time patrol monitor and advised that from now on there will be no warnings issued - the police will be called to arrest all violators.
