Leaders consider more security for area libraries

For the first time since a teenager was brutally attacked outside a Hillsborough County library, a group of experts will come together to take a closer look at safety measures at county libraries.

The high school student that was attacked in April is still in critical condition.

Currently, four out of 25 libraries have security cameras, but the cameras are only on the inside. And Bloomingdale Regional Public Library, where the attack took place, is not one of them.

Neighbors and parents have mixed reactions about possibly adding security cameras.
