I don't mind the odd wholesome news but this is a bit overhyped and absolutely non-news.

It is not like the library has any security personel watching people on normal days and if they have alarms for when people walk out with non-checked out books, they probably do, I am sure those would have gone off like on any other day as well.

About the book borrowing and returning, well you can do that completely without staff helping you, so how is that something notable? And if you are officially checking out something you are obviously a person who is going to return it.

The only thing that I think is notable that potentially no one attempted to steal books. Then again, why would you, it is used books from a library you can read for free.
