Hamilton Sign-In

People are being asked to sign-in when they enter Hamilton Library because of several instances of arson and attempted arson in the past week. :-(

The instances have been small but have damaged some books. The automatic alarm system doesn't work because the main circuit was destroyed in the flood; instead, there are guards roaming the floors looking for smoke / fire.
