Subject: Rural Montana librarian a threat to national security Libraries are dangerous placeshttp://janellen.blogspot.com/2007/01/libraries-are-dangerous- places.html
Excerpt: I learned today that she had recently submitted a request for a patron, ordering books from the large library in Billings. Being a tiny library, this is routine; she does this every week-- for folks who want to read items that aren't available, or maybe for kids who need something for a school report. She submits the order, the books come back, everyone is happy. Not this time. This time, she received these books; but they came with a letter informing her that because she had ordered them, she had been placed on a "Watch List." Pursuant to recent policy, with due respect for concerns with the requirements of the Patriot Act, she will have to appear in person in Billings before she will be permitted to order any more books. My suggestion is that every librarian in every library in theUnited States request a copy of these books (even if they already have one).
