You are correct to be concerned.  

Do you live in a state which identifies library theft?  There's a
definition (including penalties) somewhere in the California codes, but the
online codes are difficult to search.  

Point out to your supervisor that the librfary needs to demonstrate to its
stakeholders that it takes stewardship of public property seriously.  If
the perp can be identified, arrested, and punished, a clear message that
the library will not tolerate theft, your funders/stakeholders will be sent.

> My situation is that I received some Cicadas from the county forest
preserve.  The specimens were 17 years old.  Within a day, the tapped down
jar of bugs were stolen.  The great thing is that a fellow employee knows
who did it.  However, nothing is being done by management.  
> The name of the library is not the issue.  
> The issue is what do you believe should be done and what do you believe
management should do?  Or...should I take the issue into my own hands,
since it was my display?  Call the police, ban the kid...?  Note:  I am
just a shelver/ Associate II.  I am in a MLIS program at the moment and am
very passionate with library "Values."
