BEWARE!!! "Hysteric" Librarians are on the loose.

Judith Krug, director of intellectual freedom for the American Library Association, wears a button that reads 'another 'hysteric' librarian for freedom' as she talks to reporters Thursday, Feb. 26, 2004 at the Public Library Association National Meeting in Seattle. Krug was speaking out against aspects of the Patriot Act that can potentially give the government access to bookstore and library records. The button refers to a speech in September of 2003 where Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) refered to claims by the ACLU and library associations that the Patriot Act allows the FBI (news - web sites) to snoop into Americans' reading habits as 'baseless hysteria.'

1. Thanks for reminding me

That I need to order some of these to wear at work. (I'm a librarian in all but name.)

2. I'm glad to hear

that they aren't just following blindly, afraid of the men in black suits taking them away. We need to stand up for the rights that make this country great.
