byu characters -- library security

i'm starting a new segment on my blog called byu characters. they will highlight people that i run into or just observe walking or working on campus.

today's character is the library's security guards. dressed in a white uniform shirt with dress slacks and usually boots they sport a walkie talkie attached to their shoulder, and (if properly certified) a container of mace attached to their belt. besides looking extremely "intimidating" as people come and go from the library, what do these security guards actually do? ...glorified book return. i'm guessing its actually 99% of their job. correction 95% of their job. the other 5% is to look intimidating.
