BCPL Library Operations Manager Inez Mitchell and retiring Operations Manager Liz Bien today announced the installation of video surveillance cameras at strategic locations throughout the library.

Mitchell and Bien said that the cameras are being installed due to a rash of DVD thefts, though some staff members speaking on condition of anonymity believe the cameras are being used to watch them. "We don't know what they are up to and what they can see, but we don't like it," said one employee. Another said, "Such is life at BCPL."

Some of the cameras have been installed at the employee entrance and outside of the bathrooms on the second and third floors of the library. Mitchell said she, director Kelly Millis, and IS manager Joannie Saulright would be able to view all activity in camera range on their computers. She also said that Children's Library manager Noah Retro would be able to monitor all activity in the children's restrooms.

Retro publishes children's book

Children's Library manager Noah Retro has published a new children's book entitled Why is the Snow Yellow? Answers to the Questions All Parents Should Know. The book is published by Pedo Press. Library director Kelly Millis said that "I am so proud of Noah's contribution to the literature on children's issues, especially the exploration of their sexual feelings in regards to adults they trust." This is Retro's second book, his first being the BCPL published Why Your Wee-Wee Grows Bigger When I Touch It: An Illustrated Guide to Sexual Maturity and Feelings.

Whitaker Gloats
Solie Public Library Collection Manager and former BCPL Texas Collection librarian Aaron Whitaker was asked for his opinions on the recent crackdowns on employee activities at BCPL: "It's pretty funny really. It's all my fault that those fools are being punished by Sissy Millis, fat ass Saulright, and the Nazi Inez Mitchell, yet I came out of the whole thing Scot-free. I wasn't punished at all, nothing went on my record, not a thing happened to me. I went out and got a better job where we aren't monitored on every move we make. We can play on social networking sites, hell, our library even has a Space. Too bad those suckers at BCPL are singing the blues now, but that's life and how you live it."

Whitaker also had some shocking news to report about BCPL director Millis. "I found out through some sources that Millis was going to leave BCPL years back and in order to keep him, former director Bill F. Dallas created the position of Research Services Division Manager, which is basically a redundant position. Shouldn't that position just manage all of the units within RSD and cut out the unit managers? If not, then what exactly is the purpose of that position?"
