Officials say a new set of doors will likely solve security concerns for the Warren County Technical School without eliminating Franklin Township library branch patrons' ability to access a restroom.
Currently a set of doors connects the library and school, which houses the restroom used by library patrons. A recent security breach prompted officials to rethink the arrangement and the library was temporarily closed.
"I think we can work this out," Warren County Library Director Maureen Baker Wilkinson said. "It's just a matter of getting together."
New doors would feature an electronic access function. Only people with access cards would be able to enter the school. A buzzer system would be installed, as well.
Previously, officials seemed intent on hiring security guards to watch the entrance. Officials say that possibility hasn't been ruled out, but there is now more support for new doors.
Library, school and county officials are expected to meet in the coming weeks to decide on a course of action.
