At least in Finland it wouldn't make much difference if the library is open or not. Even when there's staff, it's up to you to scan the books you take out and the staff doesn't control this at all.
Many similar situations, e.g. self-scanning items in-store and bagging them, where stealing carries essentially zero risk of getting caught, but stealing doesn't happen much.
- sandos 3y agoYes, I was going to say this. Not sure if the books use any kind of alarm system? Here Im pretty sure they cannot be using it, since you can scan the books up to like 10 at a time via RFC (?) and Ive never seen a magnetic alarm tag being deactivated at that distance. Also, our local library recently closed down the possibility of entering with your library card at extended times, due to abuse of some kind.
- jampekka 3y agoI think there used to be alarms, and in some places there still are the gates and in some books you can see/feel the alarm. But e.g. in the new Oodi library there don't seem to be gates that I'd at least recognize. https://360.northmanvr.com/F1utgPQ3E0/12117837p&152.57h&75.26t https://360.northmanvr.com/F1utgPQ3E0/12117837p&152.57h&75.2...
