Library Freedom Institute

Library Freedom Institute (LFI) is a privacy-focused six-month program for librarians to teach them the skills necessary to thrive as Privacy Advocates; from educating community members, to installing privacy software, to influencing public policy.

On this page, you'll find materials that we're using for the current cohort. If you're looking for application materials and a timeline for the next cohort, [this is what you want https://libraryfreedomproject.org/lfi/].
