National City Library will enhance safety measures with the introduction of a dedicated police officer, following a recent Library Board meeting on February 6, 2025. The officer will be present at the library for 20 hours each week, specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, during key hours to ensure a secure environment for patrons.

This initiative aims to address security concerns and improve the overall experience for library visitors. The officer's schedule includes shifts from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturdays, providing consistent support during peak library hours.

The decision reflects the Library Board's commitment to fostering a safe and welcoming space for the community. As the program unfolds, it is expected to enhance the library's role as a vital resource for residents, promoting both safety and accessibility.
