Abstract
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Public libraries attract various kinds of subscribers who utilize the library in both legitimate and illegimate ways. One group of individuals that employ the public library for unconventional purposes are public eroticists who use the toilets and other accessible areas for sexual purposes. Rather than consume security time in trying to entrap and/or arrest these individuals, if is suggested that changing security functioning and goals and making a few minor structural changes in the settings will discourage most if not all such behavior.Keywords
