Like any library, we have security gates in place to help prevent book theft. Sometimes the gate mistakenly beeps when someone passes through with a laptop, flash drive, or even just a new textbook that wasn't desensitized. The gate will also false beep when several people walk through it at once.

I don't have a button behind the desk that controls when or if the gate beeps. It is not my fault that you set off the gate. I am not out to get you. It is nothing to be upset over, unless you're stealing something. Strangely, the people who are attempting to steal are usually calm and collected when we ask to look through their materials. They always pull the "I forgot" card, even when they've tried to remove every ownership stamp or sticker on the book.
