The town of Maplesville has installed a security camera in its Town Library, which is also used for town councils meeting and municipal court.

The camera, one of several in downtown Maplesville, was added to provide extra security for court and meetings. Police Chief Todd Ingram pointed the camera out during Tuesday’s council meeting.

In other police business, the council is still working with a software company to interface their court records system with the state’s e-citation equipment. The company is working with the town to find a solution.

In other business, the town took the following actions:
