This week, in response to one of the many privacy-invading aspects of the USA Patriot Act, libraries in Santa Cruz started posting notices informing patrons that their library records could end up in federal government hands, and that the law specifically "prohibits library workers from informing you if federal agents have obtained records about you." Librarians rock.
Recently, Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) introduced legislation to repeal Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, the one that deals with library records.
