If you have questions or concerns about using the library overnight, Pat Jones, Head of Library Security, and Dana Houston, Senior Security Officer, share security information and safety tips.
What security measures are in place?
During the overnight hours, there will be three security officers inside Ellis Library, one stationed at each entrance and one roving officer, meaning that officer will be walking throughout the building.
Approximately 18 security cameras will be added to the outside of the building soon. More and better lighting outside the building is also in the works. There are already approximately 20 security cameras throughout the inside of the building.
All security officers are Red Cross certified, and the library has a defibrillator. MU Police Department officers will arrive within 3-5 minutes if they are needed at any time.
What is the number one complaint library security officers receive?
Talking in the quiet areas!
Do you have any safety tips for students who plan to use the library overnight?
What is the number one thing to know about safety in the library?
Again, any time you feel unsafe for any reason or are being bothered by another individual, tell a security officer.
