Tess McClure writes: “As New Zealand celebrated a national holiday, one of the country’s largest city libraries was closed, with staff and security given the day off. But an error with the automated door programming meant Tūranga’s doors opened to the public as usual – and the unstaffed and unsecured library was happily used by the public, who browsed and checked out books for hours before someone realized the mistake.” A staff member said 380 people entered the building and used the self-checkout machines to check out 147 books, but no thefts or damage were reported.
