(AP) — Officials are asking for more security at Hawaiʻi’s public libraries to protect patrons and staff from a rise in violence and destruction. State Librarian Stacey Aldrich says the staff has faced verbal abuse and there’s been spitting and destruction of library laptops, among other problems. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the Board of Education approved Aldrich’s request for an additional $1 million for security last month. The proposal needs approval from Gov. David Ige and the Legislature. Library officials are asking for cameras at some locations and a new company that can provide guards with higher training.
