Privacy
Field Guides

The Privacy Field Guides are structured to give library workers the tools needed to create and be advocates for a safer, more secure library. They are designed to work in school, public, and academic libraries of all shapes and sizes. Choose a guide on a topic that interests you or is in an area that your library would like to work on. Each guide will give an introduction to the topic and several exercises for you to implement privacy changes at your library.
