Lexington Public Library
The Lexington Public Library comprises of six library branches that serve the city of
Lexington and the surrounding central Kentucky counties. The branches are The Village Branch,
Beaumont, East side, North side, Tate's Creek branches and the largest of them all- the
downtown Lexington Central library. Through the services it offers, the library meets the needs
of more than 300,000 members of the public regardless of their age bracket or preference. There
are variety of books for toddlers, children, youths and the elderly that cover a broad range of
topics ranging from books that educate children on alphabets to arithmetic, novels, journals ETC.
Over the years the literature material on the portals and the library has been updated.
The update has foreseen the number of items found within the library amount to over
560,000 items which are a combination of a wide variety of hardcopy books, audio books which
are books that have narrators read the book out for their audiences, e-books which are books
prepared and presented in soft copy, magazines, journals, movies, music and much more
(Lexington Public Library, 2017). The facility had managed to serve roughly 2 million visitors in
the past year, while at the same time maintaining an online presence that saw it get over 8
million visitors. Additionally, the library uses a mobile application that has since been used by
over 6 million of its members. Despite the great increase and availability of a wide array of
digital material, print formats were still preferred taking about 59 percent, with the DVDs
preferred at 22 percent, while the audio books and CDs took up 9 and 4 percent respectively
(Lexington Public Library, 2016).
The organization's vision is lifetime connection and dedication to the community while
the mission is to foster connections, enable the stimulation of new found ideas and consequently
changing of people's lives through the services they offer. The main values are excellence in the

delivery of service that it offers, equality in the manner in which they treat both their visitors and
their staff both in person and in the online platform. It also focuses on integrity which is aimed at
maintaining the trust of the community that it serves as well as assuring the community about the
institution’s ethical obligation, stewardship and passion in the delivery of service. The
institution’s strategic goals are found in six main areas of access, education, stewardship, culture,
space, and inclusivity (Lexington Public Library, 2017).
Video surveillance policy
The installation of a video surveillance system can greatly benefit an institution,
organization or company. At the same time it may pose a number of problems within the same
institution. In certain aspects it may lead to conflicts with certain employees needing to look into
the documentary evidence made by video surveillance to affirm a wrong that was committed
against them. It may create unnecessary expectations as well on the overall performance of video
surveillance systems. Policies to regulate these issues therefore become essential. The written
policies act as a guiding tool to communities and people in general on the purpose and use of the
video surveillance systems (Wang, 2013).
The policies apply in equal measure to every person within an institution or organization.
The policy helps in the assurance to people on the sole purposes of the video surveillance as well
as listing the tasks it can undertake. The individual in charge of the surveillance system acquires
guidelines from the policy on the type and management of that particular equipment. A video
surveillance policy should address the purpose of the technical equipment, the geographical or
topographical region that could best be utilized and where to avoid using them, it should include
places of monitoring, how to start a record and at what point it is advisable to stop or generally
how long the surveillance should run for (Cristiani et al, 2013).

The policy should also include detailed information on the individuals supposedly
responsible for management of the surveillance system; who gains access to the video and to
what extent and intended purpose. It should also include directives on how to install and utilize
furtive cameras as well as the procedures that are supposed to be followed for one to gain access
to the videos collected from surveillance after putting a request for them. In the least the policy
should be in a position to explain the storage and archiving of the recordings attained therein
incase of security incidents. A video surveillance system may pose legal issues if not well
presented thus presenting loopholes upon which a person may sue upon. For this reason it is
prudent to review the written policy time to time by the organization’s cou...
