The USA Patriot Act allows a federal agent to obtain library records if the agent thinks it may be related to a terrorist act. AND the library is not to inform patrons of the warrant. Stillwater’s Public Library director, Lynda Reynolds, has come up with a plan in an attempt to provide the privacy of patrons as dictated by Oklahoma law and meet the special privacy invasion provisions of the USA Patriot Act.
One reader states: "but - the federal government has never issued a warrant to examine library records."
What's your take Librarians?
