“A visit to the library hardly seems like an act that would get you in trouble, but some librarians are warning patrons that they could be putting themselves at risk by what they read.”
“At public libraries in Skokie, Ill., and Killington, Vt., for example, there are signs warning that the government could demand access to patrons’ reading records and the library could not refuse.
At other libraries, such as in Santa Cruz, Calif., and Spokane, Wash., records of who checked out what books are being purged from computers as soon as books are returned, so if federal agents ask for information, there will simply be none to give.” (from ABC News)
