South Otago librarians report increase aggression from visitors

You might think of the library as one of the last bastions of peace and quiet, a safe cosy space for allcomers. But worryingly, South Otago librarians are reporting an increase in aggression from visitors. The issue came up recently at a Clutha District Council committee meeting where one councillor asked if they needed a safe room. The Clutha district has five small libraries, its District Libraries manager Debbie Duncan spoke to Lisa Owen.
