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/].

General course information and resources

  • Code of Conduct
  • LFI message board: Most LFI discussion happens here. Anyone can read public posts on the board, but only LFI cohort members can post.

  • Riseup mailing list: a private list that cohort members get subscribed to when LFI begins.
  • Zoom video conference room: a private Zoom room that cohort members get the address to when LFI begins.
