Librarians Talk Patriot Act Strategy

The federal government says it's another tool to help fight
terrorism. But a growing number of groups around the country are
questioning different provisions of the act.

The anti-terrosism law, passed shortly after the attacks of September
11, gives the government sweeping powers to monitor citizens - even
their reading habits.

The American Libarary Association has already passed a resolution
opposing it. And some libraries across the country are warning
patrons that their records could fall into the hands of federal
agents.

But library patrons KOLR10 talked with say while they have nothing to
hide, they don't like the idea of the government knowing what they
are reading or checking out of the library. Many others had never
heard of this particular provision of the Patriot Act.

Critics of the Patriot Act call it an invasion of privacy and a
violation of their civil liberties and say just because someone
checks out a book on a subject like terrorism doesn't mean they are a
terrorist.
"Any honest person has have nothing to fear from government. I feel a
bit safer," said Springfield library patron Jim Halbert. "If there is
somebody reading a book on how to make bombs, I'd want to know who
that person is."

The Springfield-Greene County Library so far has not put up any kind
of notice in it's libraries to warn patrons of the possibility of
federal monitoring, but is considering it.
