Question
We are a municipal library and the building is owned by the county. The county will be installing security cameras outside the library in multiple locations for safety reasons. These cameras will not be regularly monitored unless there is a reason to consult them. We will not be viewing the footage per a patron’s request. They will be maintained by our county facilities staff and consulted only in cases where a criminal act was committed.
I have two questions related to this.
1. What type of permanent notification do we need to post about the use of cameras?
2. What major points do we need to ensure we include in our privacy policy?
