We will not be requiring masks, but will have masks available. At our most recent meeting in April 2023, about 25% of attendees wore masks, though some opted to take them off because of how hard it was to hear conversation, even when using a microphone. Also at our previous meeting, we built a Corsi-Rosenthal box for additional air filtration, and we will be asking locals to help assemble one for this meeting. Our meeting space does not make much physical distancing possible. If you are not comfortable in this type of space, we'd love to welcome you to one of our many virtual trainings - contact info@libraryfreedom.org for more information. |

We may do a couple of lecture-style presentations on Friday evening, and we may also do an agenda setting activity where we prompt people to share what they want to discuss.

+ | ===== Self-organized session ideas ===== | ||
+ | * lots of community connection time | ||
+ | |||
+ | * supporting privacy and user rights in academic libraries | ||
+ | |||
+ | * teaching privacy to students | ||
+ | |||
+ | * navigating relationships at work while pushing for change | ||
+ | |||
+ | * group convos with diff types of libraries (public, academic, etc) to compare contracts, policies, procedures | ||
+ | |||
+ | * new WA law criminalizing drug use - strategies against | ||
+ | |||
+ | * proactive community building work to ensure high level relationships with diverse groups | ||
+ | |||
+ | * rural libraries convo | ||
+ | |||
+ | * local success stories | ||
+ | |||
+ | * a conversation or training around the best strategies for countering right-wing mobilization against libraries in different ways e.g. events, materials, and library board takeover attempts | ||
+ | |||
+ | * how to better advocate to change IT/College/institutional policies that compromise patron privacy and also how to advocate with vendors who are collecting/using our students' data. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * a section for academic librarians to talk about: 1) how to support public libraries/library workers in our area in regards to white supremacist attacks against libraries, and 2) how to prepare for this eventual evolution into our institutions (if it's not already happened). | ||
+ | |||
+ | * labor organizing in libraries | ||
+ | |||
+ | * privacy programs in academic libraries | ||
+ | |||
+ | * intellectual freedom talking points | ||
+ | |||
+ | * how libraries manage privacy and surveillance in contract term negotiation with vendors and publishers | ||
+ | |||
+ | * strategies for keeping privacy issues around technology on the radar of instructors who assign these "free" tools and the students who use them | ||
+ | |||
+ | * how libraries are engaging with their communities and lawmakers about challenges and legislation. What resources are you using? What has been most/least helpful in making convincing arguments? Are you raising funds to support your work, and if so, how? What can we do together to help all of us, even in our individual communities/states? How can we partner to generate widespread support? | ||
+ | |||
+ | * chatgpt and ai with regard to privacy/surveillance | ||
− | + | * how Intellectual Freedom and neutrality practices can harm historically excluded groups, and how we can help change the way IF is interpreted and implemented. | |
