Book theft prompts changes at Texas Tech library
 

LUBBOCK, Texas The Texas Tech University Library plans to change its student
employment policy and possibly install a video surveillance system.

That's after the indictment of a library circulation worker for allegedly
stealing books.

Authorities say 22-year-old Johnathan Nunley stole more than 75-thousand
dollars' worth of books from the library and sold them through an online
retailer.

He was indicted last month on a charge of felony theft on accusations he
sent or arranged to send more than one-thousand library books to the
Oregon-based book seller.

Nunley worked as a student assistant in the library's circulation
department. He's accused of taking the books while working a late-night
shift and removing their Texas Tech identification by either removing pages
or marking over the university stamp with black ink.
