Finally some training on sexual harassment of library staff that directly addresses sexual harassment of librarians by library patrons and how library management responds. I will attend this training to see if it directly mentions viewing of Internet p-rn as a cause. <br />
<br />
Recall <a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2019/01/librarians-report-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">ALA calls that "dubious" and says in never really happens</a>. Recall <a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/linda-zec.html" target="_blank">librarians so fear their management after being sexually harassed by p-rn-viewing patrons that they are constructively discharged and fear saying anything for years</a>.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, below is where I learned about this opportunity, and I'm reprinting it here so you can learn about it as well and perhaps join. <br />

<br />
<b>"SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF LIBRARY STAFF: RESPONDING TO INCIDENTS BY PATRONS OR OTHERS"</b><br />
<br />
<i>A 60-minute webinar, recorded in a special Library 2.0 series with <a href="https://www.library20.com/albrecht" target="_blank">Dr. Steve Albrecht</a>, held live on Tuesday, September 17th, 2019, at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. </i><br />

<br />
<b>OVERVIEW</b>: The following questions come up in libraries around the country: “Why didn’t you tell your boss you were being sexually or racially harassed by a patron? Do your co-workers know about this? Why did you wait so long to report this? Can we ban a patron for this type of repeated behavior?”<br />
<br />
The short answers are: “I was afraid or embarrassed”; “Yes, and they have their own stories to tell about being harassed”; “I didn’t want to cause problems; I just wanted it to stop”; and “Yes!”<br />
<br />
Library staff members have the right to work in a workplace environment where the directors, managers, and supervisors: pay attention to harassment situations; listen to employee concerns; intervene and investigate as necessary; and use various HR or Code of Conduct-related tools, based on the severity of the incidents, to stop the problem.<br />
<br />
Library leaders must create the kind of culture where employees aren’t afraid of or are unsure of how to report patron harassment; to help to manage staff fears on this issue; and be ready to take the right steps on behalf of their staffs. Staff members must have the courage to know how and when to tell their bosses (or HR, or their city/county/agency attorneys, among others) if they are being harassed by other patrons. In other words, we can’t fix what we don’t know about.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://sunshineweek.org/" target="_blank">Sunshine Week</a> 2019 is March 10-16. <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> is participating in Sunshine Week as a way of encouraging people to file requests under open government laws for records related to the sexual harassment of librarians and library employees as caused by pornography-viewing patrons. I'll give an example FOIA request below.<br />
<br />
Times up for librarians too, but they fear speaking up because their own library association bullies them into silence for fear that negative publicity would harm library funding drives, such as #FundLibraries.<br />
<br />
You see, the American Library Association [ALA] recommends policy that, when implemented in local libraries, facilitates pornography viewing despite the law. To be clear, according to <a href="http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html" target="_blank"><i>United States v. American Library Association</i>, 539 U.S. 194 (2003)</a>, while there may be a First Amendment right to view pornography in the public square, that right does not extend to public libraries. Were libraries to use Internet filters and keep them properly maintained, negative consequences of being the neighborhood free porn show would be precluded. And so you know, the ALA-recommended solutions of privacy screens and moving the furniture only made the problems worse, the <i>US v. ALA</i> Court found.<br />
<br />
ALA misleads librarians / governments / communities by saying only child pornography and obscenity is illegal (besides material harmful to minors), but only a judge can determine that, and only on a case by case basis of the multimillions of web sites available—completely ignoring that the issue is Internet porn in libraries, not what's already been asked and answered in older cases. ALA even says librarians have never been sexually harassed nor will they ever be harassed by porn-viewing patrons since sexual harassment is supposedly so hard to prove. So much for believe all women. As a result, even in a #MeToo #TimesUp #BelieveAllWomen environment, many librarians still work in sexually hostile work environments.<br />

"Intellectual Freedom" award.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
ALA policy is so egregious that it even recommends covering up the viewing of child pornography. When I and others revealed publicly where ALA made that guidance public, <a href="http://hillbuzz.org/american-library-association-changes-child-porn-policies-due-to-shut-up-busting-them-39377" target="_blank">ALA simply replaced the page with an older version</a>. ALA appeared multiple times in a library that covered up that crime to support the cover up. ALA even had <a href="https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2014/12/university-of-illinois-gslis-gives-award-for-defending-child-pornography/" target="_blank">the library that covered up child pornography awarded for protecting "intellectual freedom</a>." At a public awards ceremony to present the award to the library, ALA blocked from admittance the man who uncovered the crime with his friend even though he paid admittance fees. ALA even mocked the man for being gay and questioned why a woman would let her small children around a gay man. See, "<a href="https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/07/gay-hate-at-your-library.html" target="_blank">Gay Hate @ Your Library</a>," for which I was sued in federal court on advice of ALA to force me to censor my reporting on ALA's homophobia. <a href="https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2015/04/orland-park-library-spent-480000-fighting-open-records-and-open-meetings-laws/" target="_blank">The library spent $480,000 fighting open records and open meetings laws</a>! <a href="https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2016/05/orland-park-public-library-subject-of-new-book-about-censorship/" target="_blank">An entire book was written about this debacle</a>, and it could be considered the Bible of FOIA requests.<br />
<br />
So below I present an example of the filing of a Freedom of Information Act request for information about the sexual harassment of librarians. It is important I do this so others see how easy it is to do since I'm literally the only person making such requests on a national scale. <br />
<br />
Notice I FOIA the city government, police, and the library itself as all may have relevant records, and cross checking all sources might provide the most accurate result, especially in an atmosphere where ALA advises libraries to destroy public records of such incidents, as you will see below.<br />
<br />
Hat tip to <a href="https://www.nfoic.org/organizations/state-sample-foia-request-letters" target="_blank">National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC) that provides a list of sample FOIA requests for various states</a>.

Happy Sunshine Week 2019!<br />

<div>
Dear Records Custodian,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to obtain copies of public records that provide any information in your possession about 1) the viewing of pornography/obscenity on Summit Public Library computers ( <a href="https://www.summitlibrary.org/" target="_blank">https://www.summitlibrary.org/</a> ), which may include Police Department records or records made by other municipal sections such as the Common Council and including the library and the library board itself, including 2) any responses made by anyone representing the library in any capacity, and 3) any records about how investigations of or related to the viewing of pornography / obscenity on said computers were thwarted in any way, including by library policies to delete public records in violation of public records retention laws, such as Internet browser histories that should be retained as public records and made available for legal police inspection, or by statements that First Amendment rights apply to the viewing of pornography / obscenity on said computers. Finally, 4) provide any records about any sexual harassment in said library of any librarian, library employee, library manager, library trustee, library volunteer, etc., that is in any way related to the viewing of pornography / obscenity on said computers by anyone, including patrons and other librarians. 5) This OPRA request includes a request for any legal bills relating to any documents being produced under this request. This OPRA request does not pertain to pornography / obscenity in printed paper form unless said form resulted from print out obtained by the viewing of pornography / obscenity on said computers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have learned that there have been at least two of such incidents of the viewing of pornography / obscenity on computers at said library. One incident included a young child viewing pornography being viewed by an adult. I have further learned that said library falsely excused such viewing as a First Amendment right, thereby inducing police to stop investigating further. There is no such right ever since <i>United States v. American Library Association</i>, 539 U.S. 194 (2003). ( <a href="http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html" target="_blank">http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html</a> )</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $20. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of how libraries mislead the public with false claims of a First Amendment right to view pornography on public library computers, thereby harming communities, including employees who serve the community. For example, librarians are exposed to sexually hostile work environments; patrons including children are exposed to obscenity, and libraries, library managers, library trustees, and municipalities may be guilty of 2C:34-4, “Public communication of obscenity,” since they know there is no First Amendment right to view obscenity (defined in 2C:34-2) on computers in public libraries yet say there is or that there’s nothing they can do about it and enable such activity that harms librarians and patrons and exposes the library and the municipality to liability. Having a public policy that expressly disclaims liability for both the library and the municipality for harm caused by the viewing of obscenity ( <a href="https://www.summitlibrary.org/about/library-policy#internet-policy" target="_blank">https://www.summitlibrary.org/about/library-policy#internet-policy</a> ) does not negate the law. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Such information as I uncover under this OPRA request will be published by me on my <i>SafeLibraries</i> publication or my <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> publication, depending on what is found, as I am a representative of the news media and my request is for news gathering purposes. Indeed, I am the only source for sexually harassed librarians—by patrons viewing pornography / obscenity on computers—to speak out publicly yet anonymously ( <a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2019/01/librarians-report-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">https://www.librarians.cc/2019/01/librarians-report-sexual-harassment.html</a> ) since the American Library Association repeatedly states such incidents never happen—since it is ALA policy guidance that public libraries follow that largely causes the problem in the first place. That policy guidance is applied in Summit: “The Summit Free Public Library adheres to the principles of intellectual freedom, adopted by the American Library Association, as expressed in the Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read and Freedom to View Statements.” ( <a href="https://summitlibrary.org/about/library-policy#collection-development-policy" target="_blank">https://summitlibrary.org/about/library-policy#collection-development-policy</a> and <a href="https://summitlibrary.org/images/ALA_Freedom_to_View_statement.docx">https://summitlibrary.org/images/ALA_Freedom_to_View_statement.docx</a> which incorrectly states, “The FREEDOM TO VIEW, along with the freedom to speak, to hear, and to read, is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States,” ever since <i>United States v. American Library Association</i> cited above that expressly sets public libraries apart from other public fora. )</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Such incidents usually go unreported in the media so my request is all the more significant. Indeed I could find no media reports on any such incident in the library, yet here is a desperate mother who tried to bring attention to the issue: “New Jersey State Legislature: Pass a law making it illegal to display obscene material to a minor” ( <a href="https://www.change.org/p/new-jersey-state-legislature-pass-a-law-making-it-illegal-to-display-obscene-material-to-a-minor" target="_blank">https://www.change.org/p/new-jersey-state-legislature-pass-a-law-making-it-illegal-to-display-obscene-material-to-a-minor</a> ) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any information I uncover via this OPRA request is not being sought for commercial purposes.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The New Jersey Open Public Records Act requires a response time of seven business days. If access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ask that you send the requested documents in PDF format so they may be easily attached to an email, with the exception of photographs (that should be JPEG), audio files (that should be MP3), and video (that should be MP4 or MOV video files). If the document files are too large to transmit in one single email, I authorize you to transmit them to me either via a free file sharing service such as DropBox or via multiple emails (as many as required to send all of the documents requested). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Where emails are involved, also provide the BCC as well as the CC and the TO. As you may know, BCC is for the convenience of the sender, not for circumventing public information laws. If senders / recipients include distribution lists, then please provide the document that lists the individual recipient email addresses in any distribution list; again, distribution lists are for the convenience of the sender, not for circumventing the law. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Further, if any public business has been conducted via the use of personal emails, then please provide those emails as well. Conducting public business on personal emails is not a valid means for circumventing OPRA. I have previously obtained emails written from personal email addresses, such as when the now Acting Director of ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom ordered librarians to destroy public records precisely to hide them from open government record requests: “Subject: URGENT - must delete all documents related to 17 Dec crisis communications workshop .… Remove these from your servers today and destroy hard copies. This is an attempt by two individuals to obtain privileged information …. we cannot allow anything from 17 Dec to be produced in response to FOIA.” ( <a href="https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2018/04/librarians-ordered-to-destroy.html" target="_blank">https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2018/04/librarians-ordered-to-destroy.html</a> )</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any document written or recorded is included as well. That includes voice mails, audio recordings, transcripts or minutes of any public portion of any public meeting.<br />
<br /></div>

Librarians may now report sexual harassment by library patrons via a secure and confidential email to <a href="mailto:SafeLibraries@pm.me">SafeLibraries@pm.me</a>. Security is provided by <a href="https://protonmail.com/" target="_blank">ProtonMail</a>. Confidentiality is provided by me. I will then take your report, edit it for anonymity, then post it here for others to see. When enough people see this as the big problem it is, only then will something be done. It's why American Library Association's [ALA] Office for Intellectual Freedom [OIF] counts fake book "bans." No one counts real incidents of sexual harassment of librarians caused by viewing of inappropriate material on library computers.<br />
<br />
Be clear the purpose of this is to provide space to be heard anonymously on this topic. <br />
<br />
I realize I have detractors who will be very vocal precisely to stop people from reporting on this topic. The less is known the better for those who cause the problem in the first place. So to email me you'll first have to get over the fake news about me. <br />
<br />
Recently a prominent librarian trainer said about me, after I suggested he raise the issue of sexual harassment at the ALA Midwinter meeting #alamw19, that I was "a dumpster fire of a human being" and I have "shitty behavior because [I'm] a bad person." "You don't care about the issues you raise. You only care giving your otherwise meaningless and pathetic life some kind of meaning." This is the kind of headwind you'll have to set aside should you decide to contact me with your stories no one else will hear but for me.<br />

ALA certainly will not hear nor publish your stories. The former leader of OIF, James LaRue, said it's "dubious" any librarians are ever sexually harassed, and the current acting director of OIF, Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Esq., said librarians have never been and never will be sexually harassed by library patrons viewing inappropriate material since such cases are so hard to prove. See:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2018/02/ala-ignores-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">ALA Ignores Sexual Harassment of Librarians; Librarian Says #TimesUp</a>"</li>

</ul>
And that's exactly why ALA doesn't want to count the incidents or publicize them. But I will.<br />
<br />
I'll take your reports and publish them here at "Sexual Harassment of Librarians" for all to see, all while maintaining your security and confidentiality. Publishing these stories will effect positive change. On the other hand, ALA says, almost literally, "nothing to see here, move along."<br />

The same man who attacked me as indicated above also mocked my efforts to stop sexual harassment. He said, "there are dozens of people working on those issues." We all know that is false because the problem never ends. Yes, a few raise the issue of sexual harassment of librarians by other librarians or in other contexts having nothing to do with patrons viewing unfiltered computers, but I am the only one who addresses the source: OIF pressuring libraries to provide unfiltered access. The problem never stops precisely because no one talks about it and it's a job ender if you do. Example:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2011/08/birmingham-needs-another-mlk-moment-no.html" target="_blank">Birmingham Needs Another MLK Moment; No Justice for Sexually Harassed Librarians</a>"</li>
</ul>
Several librarians have been told if they don't like working in a sexually hostile environment caused by unfiltered computers made possible by OIF policy guidance, then don't let the door hit them on the behind on the way out. My first ever post on this publication four years ago to this month was about exactly one of those situations. See and hear in her own words:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/linda-zec.html" target="_blank">Library Insider Linda Zec Gives Scoop on Porn in Libraries</a>"</li>
</ul>
That library employee took eight years to get over her fear of her library director who followed OIF advice. I'm hoping my secure/confidential platform will eliminate the fear completely. (And it's my reporting solid evidence like that video that makes me so hated by those in OIF—and loved by librarians who support me silently.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9l8K_rlI8lw/Wi8IyiprQcI/AAAAAAAAEXM/OuEluhLXHGEVgx-JphLuZCTDEGyaesDgQCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/GayHateAtYourLibrary.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="522" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9l8K_rlI8lw/Wi8IyiprQcI/AAAAAAAAEXM/OuEluhLXHGEVgx-JphLuZCTDEGyaesDgQCPcBGAYYCw/s200/GayHateAtYourLibrary.png" width="200" /></a></div>
My coauthor Kevin DuJan and I are working on a research project documenting sexual harassment of librarians and what can be done to correct this problem. Mr. DuJan is a gay researcher and author who studied the ALA's abuses and wrote about it in "<a href="https://amzn.to/2C4ZXfw" target="_blank">SHUT UP!: The Bizarre War that One Public Library Waged Against the First Amendment</a>," after he was <a href="https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/07/gay-hate-at-your-library.html" target="_blank">attacked by the library for being a "fag" and so on because he exposed crime at a public library</a>, which led to Linda Zec finally coming forward after eight years to describe her sexual harassment ordeal and how her management following OIF guidance treated her.<br />
<br />
Librarians even attack other librarians (besides myself) who dare try to spread the word about the harm being done. See:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="https://www.librarians.cc/2015/10/reddit.html" target="_blank">Librarian Versus Librarian; Sexual Harassment Wins</a>"</li>
</ul>
So set aside the naysayers and I'll anonymously publish here what you send me at SafeLibraries@pm.me. It may even be used in our book. Times up should mean times up, not let it slide because we're afraid of ALA OIF who tells us our patrons should be allowed unfiltered Internet access and working in a sexually hostile environment is just part of the job.<br />

Another librarian is exposing the sexual harassment of librarians, only she adds that library management and especially the American Library Association could not care less:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="http://www.shondaland.com/act/a15876574/timesup-on-harassing-your-public-librarian/" target="_blank">#TimesUp on Harassing Your Public Librarian; Femme Librarians Work at the Front Lines of Workplace Sexual Harassment Every Single Day</a>," by <b>Katie MacBride</b>, <i>Shondaland</i>, 31 January 2018.</li>
</ul>
Read it all, it's well written, but here are some sad quotes:<br />
<ul>
<li>"Because the truth is, every femme/female public librarian has dozens of stories just like this one; uncomfortable, but harmless interactions of harassment."</li>
<li>"Librarians fiendishly guard patrons' right to do everything that makes sexual harassment so prevalent in public libraries — right up to the point where it becomes harassment."</li>
<li>"<b>The American Library Association doesn't provide any guidelines or resources for dealing with sexual harassment, either from patrons or colleagues.</b>" (hyperlink omitted)</li>
<li>"Management also has to back up those policies by taking action when necessary. This does not always happen. I discovered this firsthand when I went to report a library patron's escalating harassment to my boss."</li>
<li>"In my experience, and the experience of many other librarians I know, management is often reluctant to address the problem of sexual harassment — especially if it's verbal and not physical — for fear of generating any negative attitudes about the library."</li>
<li>"We whisper, we warn. We stop the patron who's intent on chasing the librarian into the staff room. <i>If</i> we happen to see it. <i>If </i>the library is fully staffed. <i>If</i> he can be stopped."</li>
<li>"<b>And so it's time for the American Library Association to recognize and address the reality of sexual harassment in libraries.</b>"</li>
<li>"It's time for library management and the city and county governments they're affiliated with to unequivocally stand behind librarians' right to serve the public free from physical or verbal sexual harassment."</li>
<li>"<b>Our #TimesUp moment is long overdue.</b>"</li>

The American Library Association obviously does nothing to solve the problem, as this librarian confirms and as I have been reporting. Worse, James LaRue, the leader of its "Office for Intellectual Freedom" that facilitates Internet pornography in libraries despite the law, says any claims librarians are harassed by patrons as a result of viewing porn are, get this, "<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170924041715/http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=10389" target="_blank">dubious</a>":<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170924041715/http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=10389" target="_blank">My correspondent ... wrote that "harassment is caused by people having viewed the unfiltered Internet while in the library." But that's speculation, not fact. It's dubious, too. People read mysteries in libraries and don't feel compelled to commit murders. People are responsible for unwanted or criminal action, not the internet. And not library policy</a>.</blockquote>
ALA leadership claims the problem doesn't exist to protect its own porn-facilitation policy guidelines. And ALA has been denying the problem for years: "<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">Hostile work environment is a <i>very</i> fact-based lawsuit. .... And there've only been three of them over time, over the last twenty years of Internet access in libraries</a>."<br />
<br />
ALA and its acolytes hate that I report on ALA's involvement in the sexual harassment of librarians. Already, before this is even published, I have been attacked for daring to help by offering librarians a platform to speak. Cutting off any medium for librarians to speak out about harassment serves ALA's goals well, keeps harassed librarians silent:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P7d7NoRCReI/WnZgiCSKXvI/AAAAAAAAEcU/9yN7wSCnZ4wUjlAqVnQGg15i7JzQsbQEgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-03%2Bat%2B8.20.00%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="626" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P7d7NoRCReI/WnZgiCSKXvI/AAAAAAAAEcU/9yN7wSCnZ4wUjlAqVnQGg15i7JzQsbQEgCLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-03%2Bat%2B8.20.00%2BPM.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So now we know why ALA does <i>nothing</i> to help sexually harassed librarians. It's like all those people ignoring or protecting Harvey Weinstein all those years. It won't stop until librarians stop ignoring or protecting ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom. They at ALA OIF, they are the "dubious" ones. They cause this:<br />

Just found more evidence of yet another librarian revealing the American Library Association itself is the problem (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/ALAthinkTANK/permalink/1670878579651622/?comment_id=1670911772981636&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D" target="_blank">source of comment by Dena Marger</a>): </div>

"It is legally up to our employers to prevent a hostile work environment, even if the source of harassment comes from a patron... Patrons who view porn in the workplace are still a point of contention with the ALA, which staunchly defends a patron’s right to unfiltered internet access in the library. Lawsuits from librarians claim that forced and consistent exposure to pornography in the workplace creates a hostile environment." Yes, I've been saying this for as long as I've been a librarian, and having to deal with patrons and porn in the workplace. Glad others feel able to actually say this out loud as well. In a profession that prides itself on protecting everyone's "free speech," some people's speech can be harder to hear.</blockquote>

No, @EPLdotCA should not allow @GeorgeTakei to speak. His blaming the matter on "Russian bots" combined with the @HowardStern interview is damning. Libraries have serious sexual harassment issues given all the unfiltered Internet allowed despite the law, common sense, and community standards. You don't invite in a sexual harasser to speak in a library, and if you already invited him, dump him. <br />
<br />
Don't be the library that sends the message that you just don't care about the sexual harassment of librarians or of people generally. As Mr. Takei says in the context of sexual harassment, "This tells us about the leadership there--whom they value and whom they don't." Now there's a pearl of wisdom the library should follow.<br />

It was only a few years ago, but we’ve all seemed to have forgotten. nina de jesus and Lisa Rabey, <a href="http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/team-harpy-faq/" target="_blank">known as Team Harpy</a>, spoke out against a male colleague who had been making female colleagues uncomfortable for years at librarian conferences and events. His name emerged from personal experiences the women had, as well as the <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/10/18/how-whisper-networks-help-protect-women-harvey-weinsteins-world/759860001/" target="_blank">whisper network</a> — something that, as more and more discussion of sexual harassment and misconduct have entered into public discourse, has become a more well-known tool used among victims.<br />

<br />
In speaking out, Team Harpy did what it was people ask for in any situation of sexual assault and/or harassment: they talked.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2015/03/litigation/librarians-embroiled-in-lawsuit-alleging-sexual-harassment/" target="_blank">Not only were they sued for doing so</a>, a community turned against them, calling them little more than harpies looking for attention.<br />
<br />
The viral #MeToo campaign began with a tweet from Alyssa Milano (with credit for the term being <a href="http://www.ebony.com/news-views/black-woman-me-too-movement-tarana-burke-alyssa-milano#axzz4viv2XCUH" target="_blank">traced back to Tarana Burke</a>, a black woman, ten years ago) as a way to show the magnitude of sexual harassment and assault. Those who experienced either were encouraged to post “Me, Too” as a status on their various social media. My feeds filled, followed with many urges for people to speak out and up and change the story.<br />
<br />
Many of those statuses, as well as the urges to speak up, came from the same people who didn’t support victims who have come forward in the past in the same way. Because it’s a lot easier said than done, especially if it’s being done against someone who “doesn’t seem like the type.”<br />
<br />
But the truth is this: there is no single “type.”<br />
<br />
And the harder truth is this: there is no single “type” of victim.<br />
<br />
It’s been impossible not to look at the #metoo campaign without feeling anger and frustration. Not because of its power in drawing attention to a widespread and horrifying phenomenon. But because it didn’t happen until celebrities began to come forward. We didn’t see anything like this when de jesus and Rabey spoke up; instead, they were spurned by a community — and those who did support them saw significant negative response for doing so — and they unfortunately served as an example of what happens when you speak out before it’s popular to do so. de jesus and Rabey ultimately settled the lawsuit, <a href="https://teamharpy.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/apologies-and-retractions/" target="_blank">posting apologies and statement retractions</a>. <br />
<br />
While these women did what people have been asking victims to do, in the wake of the case, little to nothing has been done in terms of starting a dialog about the magnitude of sexual harassment and misconduct that occurs in the library. It’s easy to believe a library is an ideal place, but that’s not the case. Especially as it pertains to public libraries, with doors open to any and everyone in a community, that means any and everyone in a community is welcomed into the same shared space. And for an institution that is <a href="http://dpeaflcio.org/programs-publications/issue-fact-sheets/library-workers-facts-figures/" target="_blank">primarily staffed by women</a>, even more so than education, it means opening up the possibility of women as targets of harassment and violence of the sexual sort.+<br />
<br />
I have experienced my fair share of sexual harassment. I’m lucky: verbal and light physical harassment are the extent of my experiences. Snapped bras, butt grabs, and countless comments about the size of my chest and games of “can successfully fling x-thing between her boobs” were part of my everyday experience growing up.<br />
<br />
But nothing could equate to the sorts of sexual comments and advances I received working in the public library.<br />
<br />
There are stories I could share about men who touched me without permission. Who commented on my appearance regularly without permission (and one man who liked to tell me how much he liked when I did my hair this way or that way and thought a new haircut made me look awful). Men who, when even told no, would still touch or hug or say things that were out of line.<br />
<br />
But the worst one still lingers with me today, years later, because of what happened and how little in control of the situation I felt.<br />
<br />
I was working alone at the reference desk on a weekday morning, when an older man came in and started using the copier. The copies were a few feet from the reference desk, close enough that if someone else were at the desk, they’d hear what was going on, but far enough away from any other staff points that it was otherwise cut off. As the man began using the copier, I saw he was getting frustrated and asked if he needed any help.He said he was getting a message that the paper was low, and could I refill it?<br />
<br />
This was an easy problem with an easy solution. I left the reference desk and headed to the cabinet where we kept the paper. It sat right behind the printer, so the man met me by the cabinet. I kneeled down to unlock it and grab the ream of paper and in the process, he said “your husband must love it when you’re on your knees.”<br />
<br />
I felt myself go red and hot with shame. I felt my stomach twist and drop. And I didn’t know how to respond. Do I yell? Do I laugh it off? Tell him to knock it off? Being there, by myself, I had no idea what the proper response was, so rather than saying anything, I shrugged my shoulders, shoved the paper in the printer, and asked if he needed anything else. He didn’t, and I immediately walked into the bathroom out of the public service area to collect myself.<br />
<br />
The man was gone when I came back out, so I tried to resume my normal work. But I spent the entire rest of my shift wondering: what do I do about a comment like that? Who do I tell? Would anyone believe me? I didn’t even get the guy’s name, I hadn’t seen him around before so he wasn’t a regular, and what good would it do for me to say anything anyway? It was embarrassing and shameful. I didn’t want to repeat that comment to anyone, let alone acknowledge that it was made at me.<br />
<br />
Now, five plus years later, I repeat that moment in my head over and over and wonder how many other people have had similar — or worse — experiences and carried it with them day after day in the name of public service. How many at my own workplace encountered him or individuals like him and didn’t say anything out of fear or shame or uncertainty.<br />
<br />
Because that’s the thing of it: working in a public library means working with the public. Librarians are taught to deal with mental illness. Taught to deal with homelessness. Taught to deal with hard and personal reference issues with dignity and professionalism.<br />
<br />
But librarians are not taught what to do when they become the victim of harassment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
SO WHAT?</h3>
<br />
This many years on, I should have let that experience go, as I’ve let go of so many of the others in the name of living my life. But I haven’t, and I can’t, knowing I didn’t say anything and knowing that I certainly am not alone in having had something like that happen. I beat myself up sometimes, knowing that I didn’t say anything, which only perpetuated the power of silence. That man didn’t learn from what he said, and I didn’t speak up, didn’t serve as a model of what to do in a situation where I was disempowered. Where I was made to feel shamed while simply doing my job. If someone who isn’t afraid to speak up doesn’t, then how does a cultural shift happen which encourages everyone to speak up begin?<br />
<br />
It doesn’t, and it can’t.<br />
<br />
I feel guilt. I feel sadness. And I feel shame for feeling both of those things. While this happened in the days before de jesus and Rabey spoke out, I think about my non-response in light of what they put at stake in speaking out; it would have been much easier and much less costly on every level.<br />
<br />
I also feel tremendously lucky that this particular incident is the thing which haunts me. Because it could have been so much worse.<br />
<br />
Because for many library employees, it is so much worse.<br />
<br />
In the libraries where I worked, there was no policy or procedure in place for what to do about sexual harassment. If anything, it fell under the general “write a report” category of behavioral issues in the library. But how does one write a report when it comes to a comment or two from someone not known to the person reporting?<br />
<br />
What the libraries I worked at did offer, though, were staff in-service training days. But not one of those days, across the many I sat through, explored gender dynamics in the library and not one highlighted the real problem of sexual harassment in the library space.<br />
<br />
If we’re going to have active shooter training as library staff in the event of a potential violent incident, then we damn well also need sexual harassment and assault training because the likelihood of that happening is, presumably, <a href="http://www.stopstreetharassment.org/resources/statistics/statistics-academic-studies/" target="_blank">much steeper given the statistics</a>.<br />
<br />
It’s everyday.<br />
<br />
Likewise, there have been few regional or national conferences addressing the challenge of sexual harassment in the library. There have been workshops offered — one will be named later on, along with the resources discussed — but there hasn’t, to my knowledge, been a keynote speaker headlining a conference which directly addresses sexual harassment in the library. And certainly, as any librarian knows, accessibility for those conference is a challenge in and of itself. Money is tight, seniority often plays a role in travel opportunities, and those who do attend large conferences are often overwhelmed by choice and obligations, so attending each and every workshop of value is not possible.<br />
<br />
Another issue complicating matters is one that’s quite simple and utterly frustrating in its simplicity: gender. Though librarianship is dominated by females, leadership in libraries doesn’t always look the same way. <a href="http://ala-apa.org/files/2012/03/Library-Workers-2011.pdf" target="_blank">While 60% of directors in research libraries are female</a>, that still leaves a whopping 40% of those libraries under the leadership of a man. In public libraries, the percentage isn’t as wide, <a href="http://www.ala.org/tools/research/librarystaffstats/diversity/libdirectors" target="_blank">though 35% of directors in public libraries are male</a>. Looking at this another way, research libraries are 68% female employees and public libraries are 79% female employees.<br />
<br />
We like to believe the gender of our leadership doesn’t matter, but we’ve seen even in libraries than male directors earn more than female directors. So it’s not a huge leap to suggest that, even in an institution that strives to serve and provide equal opportunities to all, that challenges which can easily fall under the poorly-named category of “women’s issues” aren’t at the forefront of administration. Men experience sexual harassment, but not at the level women do. And more, men who work behind closed doors in offices out of public spaces don’t even have the same potential to hear the sorts of comments or experience what their female colleagues do while working the public service desks.<br />
<br />
It’s the public service facing employees who see it, who hear it, and who experience it, from the teenage pages who shelve books up to those with double master’s degrees working academic reference desks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE OR LOOK LIKE THOUGH?</h3>
<br />
On Monday, October 16, 2017, I put together a short Google Survey and distributed it across social media. The survey, <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CI7T-tmkiaSNek5hZdlDmlvGH69AvMs84VZ-nm6_N5w/edit" target="_blank">which can be seen here</a>, received 250 responses as of this writing days later, and it’s still receiving feedback.<br />
<br />
That magnitude of response speaks for itself. But as much as the responses speak to the reality of sexual harassment in the library, so do the questions asked by potential participants. Many asked if x-experience “counted” as sexual harassment (in all cases, yes, it did). Many asked if it counted were it from someone they worked with (yes, it did). Still others asked if it counted were the harasser someone from whom they purchased various library supplies from (yes, it did).<br />
<br />
The reality is this: those working in libraries have a hard time defining what sexual harassment is, and often, they have a hard time accepting that they, too, were a victim.<br />
<br />
Because in the name of serving patrons, so often those comments are simply brushed off or accepted as “part of the job.” This isn’t true. Librarians, in all systems and across all levels, deserve to work in an environment free from harassment. But until there’s a comprehensive understanding of what harassment is and how to respond to it, until there are tools for employees to reach for when put into the situation, and until there’s support from administration for those employees to stand up for themselves in order to protect themselves <i>and</i> do their jobs well, we’ll keep hearing stories like these:<br />
<br />
<i>A patron started emailing me asking for sexual photos and videos. He also approached me in the library.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I was 8 months pregnant and working at the reference desk. A patron was touching my stomach and making sexual comments. I smacked his hand away. He called the police that I assaulted him. The police informed him I defended myself and him touching my pregnant belly and making lewd comments was sexual assault and sexual harassment. He was told not to interact with me again but was not banned from the library. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I was regularly sexually harassed at my previous place of employment by multiple staff members, mostly security guards and maintenance staff members. They would routinely comment on my appearance and the way I dressed. In addition to staff, I was frequently harassed by customers. I have been asked out by numerous customers, who would then get angry that I refused their advances. I remember one customer ask me why I wasn’t married yet. I’ve received notes commenting on my appearance. I’ve been stared at while shelving library materials.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A teen patron would follow me around and tell me about how he was better than my boyfriend, he was going to beat him up, for me to tell him where he lived, all with his hand down his pants.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My male supervisor (50’s) got me a birthday present (single mom in 30’s). It was an apron, that stated “If I am what I cook… I’m fast, cheap, and easy”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Worked at the front desk as a circ asst. Custodian frequently flirted and asked if he could kiss him. Would ‘playfully’ hit and one time, strangle me. Eventually escalated to him grabbing my ass at the front desk during a shift.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Last February a patron quietly – so I could hear him, but no one else could – subjected me to a monologue about all the things he wanted to do to me. It amounted to threatening me with sexual assault.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>As a student page, I was pulled into the washroom by a male coworker. As a librarian, a male manager repeatedly made sexual comments directed to me.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Former Male white boss who discussed to another male white coworker while all three of us were having a discussion how he hates those young girls doing car washes because “I mean they’re like 13 but they’re all wet and dressed like that and mmmmm”. Male white coworker who would only call me “girlie”. Having multiple male white patrons masterbate and having to approach them.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I went into an elevator with a patron. He mentioned that it was good I had a book cart between us so that he was forced to control himself.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Male faculty member asking me to “find the good sex scenes” in a YA book. Repeated comments over several months about/offers to “make sure I’m really a lesbian” and maybe “I just hadn’t had any good times with men” While I was a nursing/pumping mother, comments about being jealous of my baby “glad someone gets to enjoy those.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I was 23 and worked in circulation. My boss worked there for many years and was an older man. Maybe in his late 40s earler 50’s. He had almost entirely female staff, many of us pretty young. He’d talk openly about what the students wore and what he could see, he’d share sex jokes, he even had a woman in lingerie as a screen saver. He also used a computer a lot that had autocomplete set up. One time I tried to help a researcher with that computer and the autocomplete filled it in with the suggestions “12 year olds nude, 13 year olds nude, etc.”</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These are the tip of the iceberg, of course, and but a small sampling of the incredible and horrifying breadth of experiences shared by librarians. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GLPzaLZG9MmlC7eGEYkejM9FU1PeN1xTwZD2_SfJJPE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">You can access a partial list here to get a sense of the wheres and hows of sexual harassment in libraries of all stripes</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THIS?</h3>
<br />
<i>I work in a customer service profession. I feel that it’s my responsibility to smile and be pleasant, even when dealing with total ogres.</i><br />
<br />
That comment, in response to the question “did you report the incident,” wasn’t an uncommon response. A few other responses:<br />
<br />
<i>No of course not. The culture was such that male employees especially management were extremely well protected and insulated – women who reported them were blackballed or frozen out or treated badly until they quit or quieted down. And “the customer is always right” mantra extended particularly to male customers when it was a woman’s word as well.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>No. It didn’t seem to be worth the hassle.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Yes, incident reports were written in some cases. Sometimes not, but once we got in the habit of writing them for incidents like this, It happened with more regularity.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Most incidents, yes. My coworkers are 90% women and deserve to know when these guys are around</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>No. I was raped before and my experience is that reporting is more traumatic than the incident itself..</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Yes. I did on more than one occasion. But they didn’t really listen until the third time I reported it.</i><br />
<br />
It was refreshing to see how many reported the incidents and experiences. A lot of those responses came with caveats — some felt they did it only to have a paper trail, even though they knew nothing would be done, and others did note that they knew their supervisors would “have their backs.” A few also noted that, even when they reported, they felt they weren’t being believed or heard, and as one mentioned above, it required getting into the habit of writing reports, even if those reports didn’t necessarily have a follow through action.<br />
<br />
But even in reporting, there is no guarantee of a response or protection. Though many who responded to the survey noted that the incidents were discussed at meetings — a valuable tool for keeping staff informed but also an incredibly vulnerable position for a victim to be a part of — many more said that they weren’t believed, that they should accept the comments as “nice compliments,” and/or that these sorts of things simply come with the territory of working with the public.<br />
<br />
<i>I got called up to HR to talk about me being mean and abusive.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My supervisor is supportive. But no action taken against patrons.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>She asked security to get footage of the guy so we could ban him . She wanted a one-year ban. Guardian Security, our contractor, overrode her (a flagrant violation of policy) because the ‘alleged’ conduct was verbal only, and there was no evidence that I had been threatened. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I didn’t feel like they cared or took me seriously.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I was told as a student page that I shouldn’t dress provocatively if I don’t want the attention and that it was essentially my fault: boys will be boys. As a librarian I was questioned as to if I was making it up as there were no witnesses to the manager’s behaviour.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Boss took it seriously; we crafted responses, and I was allowed off desk/to avoid helping this patron if he came in. My boss and I agreed that if anything else happened [my boss] would talk to the man about it.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Initially, the response from my bosses was supportive because they wanted to fire him. Once they realized they couldn’t fire him, they made me feel bad for reporting it. I was told he was in counseling and to think about how he had a wife, kid and mortgage.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My supervisor cosigned an incident report and discussed it with my staff.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The first time I reported I was blamed for enticing the patron. I was friendly, as I am with all patrons, so I must’ve sent mixed signals. The second time I went to the director when a patron repeatedly made me uncomfortable and crossed the line into touching. The police were called and he was banned for a month. Everyone was annoyed, I was embarrassed.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The (female) director of my library asked why I didn’t make a sound, stand up (I was seated at the reference desk and he had reached across), or make a big enough scene to get someone’s attention.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My first director, a male did nothing. I called the police. Although once he let me take an unscheduled vacation to get me away from the guy.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The head Librarian immediately removed him, bodily, from the building and then formally banned him from returning, to any branch.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I was told the patron asked out all the female librarians and that he was “harmless.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Patrons are like that.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>They were very supportive, filed a report for future reference, and spoke to the patron in question.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>They were worried about my safety while doing my job.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE</h3>
<br />
One of the repeat comments throughout the survey was that, even in situations where management was sympathetic toward the victim, little was done that impacted the harasser. A number of responses said that the perpetrator was “well known” and a “harmless regular” and/or they were not given any punishment or response from the library.<br />
<br />
Other responses, though, said that upon having a paper trail through incident reports, those patrons were banned from the library.<br />
<br />
So what is the correct response? Do library employees need to continue on with their jobs and accept harassment as a part of working with people? Or does something more need to be done?<br />
<br />
In an ideal world, there would be staff training offered not just in how to best serve a wide swath of people in the library and not just in how to protect oneself in the event of a violent incident. There should be training and opportunities to learn how to stand up for one’s self and respond to harassment in the library. There should be sensitivity training for administration in terms of listening to and responding to staff who report, as well as opportunities to build a team which encourages speaking out and up because of the built-in levels of trust and support within the system.<br />
<br />
More, staff trainings and discussions about harassment need to be talked about with regularity. A one-off staff training day isn’t enough. Encouraging staff responses, developing constructive and powerful dialog, and finding solutions that protect staff members while being conscious of serving a unique and varied patronage requires providing regular opportunities to learn, to discuss, and to share.<br />
<br />
Perhaps simply filing an incident report isn’t a solution. It might instead be part of the solution, with a form that goes to a staff member or committee of staff members who review the comments and offer solutions for the victim. Those solutions may range from giving them time off the service area to allowing them time to speak with a supervisor and follow through with next steps. Likewise, administration should step up and be braver in issuing consequences for perpetrators. At the library where the incident I experience happened, one of the levels of discipline we had for teenagers was, after three strikes for behavior issues, they and their parent/guardian met with the director to talk about following library behavior policy. Though this took time from the director’s schedule, it gave those teens (and their adults) a chance to hear what their problematic behavior was, allowed them a chance to talk through it and ask questions, and then they were allowed to use the library again, knowing that another incident would lead to a 30-day ban from the library.<br />
<br />
We know many of the harassment incidents are from repeat offenders, those so often written off as “harmless weird people.” But those “harmless weird people” need to be subject to the same rules as other patrons of the library. Chances are, their inappropriate behavior doesn’t just impact staff. It’s likely they’re impacting other patrons as well.<br />
<br />
Some other ideas and encouragement for better dialog and training from those working in libraries:<br />
<br />
<i>It’s very difficult to draw the line between serving patrons and putting up with harassment, especially when you don’t want patrons to lose library privileges. We know that they need us, but it’s not always possible to provide services when you’re afraid.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I work in an academic library now, and I’ve heard that student workers have had incidents in the past and either didn’t report, or only told another student worker. I think there is a feeling that working in public service, it’s just something you have to deal with. I think training on how to respond to those situations is needed, as well as reminding workers that it’s not something they need to put up with. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Yes! Let us know easy scripts, ways to say no, have posted policies so we can throw the creeps out.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Library world isn’t any different than the rest of the world. Outside of the library building, but still on the clock, I’ve been physically and verbally harassed at ALA conferences. Including being picked up and carried around a bar by a library vendor during a library social event. The bar’s bouncer told the man to put me down, then he himself got really close to me and started saying how pretty I looked. This is one of the most frightening situations I’ve been in and now I avoid that vendor at every conference (and ignore online “networking” connections).</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Yes. Too often librarians and other library staff have to be nice no matter what a patron, coworker or volunteer does to them. The expectation is that libraries are desperate for patrons and if we expect a high code of conduct and respect we’ll drive people away. Well, I think harassers and abusers should either get help or be driven away.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Our profession is made up of mostly women, however many times admin are men, who may not realize the extent of harassment faced daily. This needs to change. We can no longer boil down harassment to just a “quirk” of working with public.Good customer service is not an excuse for staff members to put up with abuse. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I know there are many women who have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace by their co-workers. I also feel as though there is a weird misogyny in libraryland. It’s almost as if male librarians are seen as more competent or capable than their female counterparts (which might explain why they are disproportionately in leadership positions.) The harassment from men in the public also needs to be better addressed. It should be clear to the public that there is zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior, and employees should be given better training so they know how to handle those situations as they occur.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I think it’s an issue for many (if not all) service jobs. I feel like libraries may have it worse than other sectors because 1) those of us who are tax payer funded often hear “I pay your salary with my taxes” and patrons acts like this gives them extra entitlement to us 2) sexy librarian trope 3) we’re a mostly female work force.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>As far as how/why we address this… Toxic masculinity and the the patriarchy are big factors that we alone can’t take on. They are big picture things to consider and address when and where we can (like I do with my teens). Male allies are important, and we’ll be hard pressed to do this without them. But. support from other women is vital. For example, the female supervisor I had who was skeptical to my reports. I felt her skepticism was due to my non traditionally attractive appearance and that I should be thankful for the attention. Now she never said this, but others have, and i have been made to feel that because of my appearance, I should be thankful when a man catcalls me, corners my, propositions me, etc. Then there’s also my another female supervisor I had to who told me I was flat wrong and being overly sensitive; she even made a comment about “stupid liberal millennials.” Women like this hurt us just as much as those who harass us in the first place.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>So training not just to stop harassment, but to support those who have been harassed. In addition, supervisors, admin, etc. who have a zero tolerance policy and who will back their staff regardless of tax payer dollars.</i><br />
<br />
All of this, of course, comes right back to where we started: why now? Why haven’t we had this discussion before? And why do we demand the work of doing better fall on the backs of victims, rather than start from the top?<br />
<br />
Why is it we didn’t step up and support the women who have spoken up and out before? Are we lacking the tools or have we chosen being nice and quiet over lending a hand and speaking up and out?<br />
<br />
It’s both.<br />
<br />
The library world, despite how it’s depicted, is no different than the social world at large. If anything, it’s a microsocial world, featuring the best and the worst of culture at once. Knowing that and being empowered to work in and within that dynamic can and should be the start of building the skills and tools necessary to stay safe, stay strong, and stay connected to what’s going on.<br />
<br />
And it can help ensure that those who do speak out find the support they deserve.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
RESOURCES</h3>
<br />
There are no universal resources about sexual harassment available. The American Library Association has no policies nor no guidelines available to members about protecting themselves from sexual harassment in the library, either in the form of experiencing it from patrons or colleagues.<br />
<br />
Instead, the resources being shared are, much like the whisper network, happening much more quietly, privately, and in rare cases, at local and regional conferences with materials not readily accessible to those not in attendance.<br />
<br />
At this year’s American Library Association meeting in Chicago, Waukegan Public Library (and Book Riot contributor) Katie McLain and coworker Amanda Civitello presented on sexual harassment, offering both a definition of what it is, how it plays out in the library, and they put together a series of resources for helping get the discussion fired up at the library. <a href="https://www.waukeganpl.org/alaac17/" target="_blank">You can read their slides and handouts here</a>.<br />
<br />
Although it’s not related to sexual harassment, Katie McBride — Book Riot contributing editor — r<a href="http://lithub.com/librarians-in-the-21st-century-we-need-to-talk-about-library-security/" target="_blank">ecently wrote about security and violence in the public library</a>. This piece, in conjunction with McLain’s work above, provide insights to help get the work started.<br />
<br />
It’s also worth reading <a href="https://hacklibraryschool.com/2017/09/11/27088/" target="_blank">Melissa DeWitt’s take on sexual harassment in the public library from Hack Library School</a>, along with the resources cited therein.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
LOOKING AHEAD</h3>
<br />
Nothing will ever change how those who have spoken up against sexual harassment and assault have been treated in the past. Nothing will ever change how brave victims have been in doing what so few have had the power to do.<br />
<br />
But we can use them as the spark that ignites the fire within the rest of us to do something and change the culture of sexual harassment in the library.<br />
<br />
Because, as much as it shouldn’t be, the responsibility is upon each and every one of us to build a toolbox of responses and pull from it as necessary. To protect ourselves, to protect our colleagues, to protect other patrons, and to protect what it is that makes the library the special place that it is.<br />
<br />
We can do better.<br />
<br />
We can always do better.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
+Women, of course, are not the only victims of sexual harassment. But for the sake of this piece, they are the focus, as they are so frequently the focus in society at large. For men and those of other genders who experience sexual harassment and violence, know that you are being heard, you are being seen, and you are being believed by me. You are not forgotten.<br />
<br />
*Lisa Rabey shared the survey tied to this piece, and her tweets about it are <a href="https://twitter.com/heroineinabook/status/920403493579624449" target="_blank">well</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/heroineinabook/status/920414272580210688" target="_blank">worth</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/heroineinabook/status/920416163921907713" target="_blank">reading</a>. I can only imagine what the recent discussions on such a broad level about sexual harassment and assault are bringing up for Rabey and de jesus.<br />

<br />
Note from Dan Kleinman:<br />
<br />
That's a good write up, mostly (like it leaves out how Sarah Houghton was part of Team Harpy and never apologized to the man even after his career was dashed). <br />
<br />
But it does not address the main source of the problem, namely, <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2017/01/brave-librarian-speaks-out.html" target="_blank">American Library Association policy guidance many libraries follow that facilitates child p0rnography viewing in public libraries</a>, thereby leaving unfettered access to the Internet. If librarians will not address the problem of being misled by ALA into allowing p0rn viewing despite the law, then the sexual harassment problem will never go away. <br />
<br />
Indeed, <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">ALA says sexual harassment of librarians never happened and never will</a>. Nowhere does the author discuss any such denials by the very people mainly responsible for the problem. Keeping blinders on only makes the problem continue unabated.SafeLibraries®http://www.blogger.com/profile/06756725065032196698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526914617158863540.post-74464485497067675382017-08-19T00:46:00.001-04:002017-08-19T00:46:49.360-04:00Is Porn In the Library Sexual Harassment?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

ANON ASKED ALATT - "Is porn in the library sexual harassment?</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
Weird question but I need to ask anyway. I work at a library that has a section of computers that can have our normal filtering software removed. Of course the “official” reason for this area is if someone is doing research on breast cancer or art or other subjects that might trigger nudity, they have a dedicated space to view. The reality is these computers are in constant use by patrons looking at hardcore porn. Part of my job is to walk around and see if people need help on the computer. While I try not to notice what these patrons are looking at, sometimes they might ask me for help printing or adjusting the volume or other things and BOOM there’s some porn. Also, as you can imagine, we have had more than a few patrons engage in some self pleasuring while using these computers, so we do try to monitor the hand placement of folks as best we can. Here is my problem: I am not offended by porn per se, but I do think in my work environment I shouldn't have to be subjected to it. Obviously I don’t want to go to HR or my manager for fear of putting a red X next to my name (complainer, troublemaker, not a team player, however you want to put it). Do you think I have any rights legally or otherwise? Or should I just suck it up and accept it as part of the profession? "</div>

The problem, however, is how this issue has been litigated. People have sued their employers claiming a hostile work environment because their work email account received a pornographic spam message. It creates a slippery slope which permits the government to invade public fora to monitor speech. That should make librarians a little uncomfortable. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="smile emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v9/feb/2/16/1f642.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span aria-hidden="true" class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">:)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>

As far as images on a screen, would it be harassment if a co-worker was doing the same thing (even if it were on their own laptop in the break room at lunch, not on work time)? I am not sure how intent comes into play--are the images themselves less offensive or hostile if they just happen to be in view, rather than if the person is making an attempt to get the staff member to view them? Also, I would expect that hostile environment aside, different states have different definitions of what is "obscenity" and illegal in a public space.

Not ok. However we also had a "you can look at/print what you want" policy so we wound up going with another print solution. This is all about having good policies but also you being willing to talk about the issues with the people who make them whether it's HR or the trustees. Part of harassment (usually) is that it's pervasive (not always, but often) so if you'd said this was a thing you didn't want to deal with (viewing hardcore porn) and the administration did nothing, that is a problem. You need to work within the system before you step right to suing people.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>

Add to this many (most?) libraries' stance on intellectual freedom and anti-censorship/filtering and you wind up with something where people don't agree on where to draw the line. One of the reasons some libraries like filtering is because it keeps them from having to make judgment calls like this, at least most of the time.

<b>SUBJECT: <u>Civil and Criminal Liabilities For Libraries Related to Using or Failing to Use Internet Filtering Software or Other Content Screening Mechanisms</u></b><br />
<br />
The American Library Association has asked us to prepare a memorandum summarizing the potential liability if a public library uses filtering software or other content screening mechanisms for Internet access, or decides not to use filtering software or other content screening mechanisms.<br />
<br />
<b>Before we begin that analysis, we must caution that this memorandum is merely a <u>general</u> discussion of these issues, and is <u>not an opinion letter</u>. Because laws differ from state to state, this memorandum necessarily cannot serve as the basis for legal judgments for any library deciding whether to use filtering software or other content screening mechanisms. Additionally, the law related to Internet use and filtering is changing rapidly as new legislation is adopted and new court challenges are filed. Libraries that offer Internet access should seek legal advice for an analysis of their own particular situation and the current laws of their own state and jurisdiction.</b><br />
<br />
In <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/19990224043827/http://www.ciec.org/SC_appeal/opinion.shtml"><strong>Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union,117 S.Ct. 2329 (1997)</strong></a>, the United States Supreme Court held unanimously that the governmentcould not criminalize the "display" on the Internet of material that would be "indecent" or "patently offensive" for minors, because such a ban would restrict adult access to constitutionally protected material. The Supreme Court held that the Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional because the government had failed to demonstrate that less restrictive alternatives were unavailable, such as user-based filtering software that <u>parents</u> could use to block or filter their child's access to certain materials.<br />
<br />
In some jurisdictions, government authorities are now mandating use of such filtering software by <u>libraries</u>, sometimes out of concern that libraries will be liable under existing statutes if a minor accesses material deemed "obscene," "indecent," or "harmful to minors." The use of filtering software by public libraries rather than by parents raises serious First Amendment concerns.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that this memorandum is a discussion merely of <u>potential</u> liability. There are no final, definitive judicial rulings at this time. These issues are percolating throughout the country. Indeed, the Library Board of Trustees in Loudoun County, Virginia was sued on December 23, 1997 for installing filtering software on library computers. A patron has sued the Free Library of Philadelphia on the ground that Internet screening practices interfere with his First Amendment rights. There is likely to be further litigation in other jurisdictions.<br />
<br />
There is a serious risk that libraries will be found to have violated the First Amendment if they use filtering software to prevent access to constitutionally protected speech. Given that serious risk, libraries in jurisdictions where "harmful to minors" statutes exist must work with state and local legislatures to ensure that they can protect important First Amendment rights while at the same time avoiding potential civil or criminal liability.<br />
<ol type="I"><strong><b></b></strong>
<li><strong>CIVIL LIABILITY FOR INSTALLING FILTERING SOFTWARE ON LIBRARY COMPUTERS</strong><br /><br />Many courts have held that public libraries are limited public fora, open to the public for "the communication of the written word."<sup>1</sup> The First Amendment prohibits the state from discriminating based on <u>content</u> in public fora unless it can demonstrate that the restriction is necessary to achieve a "compelling" government interest and there are no less restrictive alternatives for achieving that interest.<sup>2</sup> Thus, libraries cannot ban books on abortion, even if the ban encompassed both books supporting and opposing abortion, because the ban would be based on the <u>content</u> of the material, <u>i.e.</u>, the subject of abortion (rather than other content-neutral criteria such as quality of writing, placement on best sellers' lists, etc.).<sup>3</sup> Filtering and other screening mechanisms are, at the least, "content-based" because the filter is based on the sexual, violent or other (presumed) content of the material, and they are often "viewpoint" based because they block certain viewpoints (i.e., anti-semitic speech). These mechanisms can only be utilized, therefore, if the government (in this case, the library) can demonstrate both a compelling need and that the means utilized is the least restrictive means available to achieve that purpose. In a recent challenge to filtering software in Loudoun County, Virginia -- where the library has installed X-Stop filtering software on all terminals -- a district court held in a preliminary ruling that libraries are limited by the First Amendment in their ability to block patron access to the Internet. The Library Board had argued at oral argument that "a public library could constitutionally prohibit access to speech simply because it was authored by African- Americans, or because it espoused a particular political viewpoint, for example pro-Republican." Feb. 27, 1998 Hearing Transcript at 48. The district court rejected that argument, holding that "the First Amendment applies to, and limits, the discretion of a public library to place content-based restrictions on access to constitutionally protected materials within its collection." Slip Opinion at 26. The district court held:<br />
<dl><dd>By purchasing Internet access, each Loudoun library has made all Internet publications instantly accessible to its patrons. Unlike an Interlibrary loan or outright book purchase, no appreciable expenditure of library time or resources is required to make a particular Internet publication available to a library patron. In contrast, a library must actually expend resources to restrict Internet access to a publication that is otherwise immediately available. In effect, by purchasing one such publication, the library has purchased them all. The Internet therefore more closely resembles plaintiffs' analogy of a collection of encyclopedias from which defendants have laboriously redacted portions deemed unfit for library patrons. As such, the Library Board's action is more appropriately characterized as a removal decision. We therefore conclude that the principles discussed in the . . . [<u>Board of Education v. Pico</u>, 457 U.S. 853 (1982)], plurality are relevant and apply to the Library Board's decision to promulgate and enforce the Policy.</dd></dl>
Slip Opinion at 23.<br />
<dl><dd>The following are various options libraries are considering and some of the potential liabilities associated with each.</dd></dl>
<dl><ol type="A"><strong></strong>
<li><strong><u>Library uses commercially available blocking software to block broad categories of material on all terminals.</u></strong><br /><br />Commercially available blocking software typically blocks broad categories of materials, including materials that are not obscene and do not constitute child pornography and thus are protected by the First Amendment. Adult users could successfully sue public libraries who use filtering software on <u>all</u> terminals because the software would prevent adults from accessing constitutionally protected material. In concluding that the Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional, the Supreme Court held:<br />
<dl><dd>It is true that we have repeatedly recognized the governmental interest in protecting children from harmful materials. . . . But that interest does not justify an unnecessarily broad suppression of speech addressed to adults. As we have explained, the Government may not "reduc[e] the adult population . . . to . . . only what is fit for children."</dd></dl>
<u>Reno v. A.C.L.U.</u>, 117 S.Ct. at 2346 (citations omitted). Thus, the use of filtering software is almost certain to be found unconstitutional if it prevents adults from accessing constitutionally protected material.<br /><br />
Older minors also could sue on First Amendment grounds. Minors have First Amendment rights.<sup>4</sup> Filtering software that broadly blocks access to content would almost certainly prevent minors from accessing material that has serious value and would be constitutionally protected for older minors, even if that material might be considered harmful and unprotected for younger minors. For example, the Fourth Circuit upheld a Virginia law restricting the display in newsstands of material deemed "harmful to minors" only after the Virginia Supreme Court had interpreted the law to exclude from its prohibition any material "found to have a serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for a legitimate minority of normal, older adolescents."<sup>5</sup> The Eleventh Circuit went even further, holding that a "harmful to minors" restriction could not constitutionally be applied to material in which "<u>any</u> reasonable minor, including a seventeen-year-old, would find serious value."<sup>6</sup> Since there are almost certainly less restrictive means of keeping harmful material from young minors, see discussion below, courts would likely sustain an older minor's challenge to blanket use of filtering.<br /><br />
Even younger minors could potentially sue on First Amendment grounds because filtering software would prevent them from accessing constitutionally protected material that is neither obscene nor "harmful" to <u>any</u>minors. Commercially available software often restricts very broad categories of material. Thus, filtering software often blocks sites with the name "sex" or "breast." As a result, sites with information on "breast cancer" and "safe sex" might be blocked -- even though such sites plainly would not be "obscene," "indecent," or "patently offensive" (under most definitions) and plainly would contain constitutionally protected material for <u>everyone</u>.<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><u>Library installs filtering software on all terminals with option for adults to request that software be turned off.</u></strong></li>
<br />
Courts have suggested in some instances that requiring recipients to affirmatively request protected speech to which stigma might attach is unconstitutional. See generally <u>Denver Area Telecommunications Consortium, Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission</u>, 116 S.Ct. 2374 (1996). Proponents of filtering have argued that no stigma attaches if the adult must simply ask for unfiltered access rather than for access to a particular site. In fact, librarians have reported that patrons in their libraries plainly would be stigmatized by having to request unfiltered access, especially if they have to request access to particular sites. In the Loudoun County cases, the district court rejected the Library Board's argument that the ability of patrons to submit a written request to have a site unblocked eliminates any First Amendment problems. The court held that "the unblocking policy forces adult patrons to petition the Government for access to otherwise protected speech." Slip Opinion, at 35.<br /><br />
Additionally, permitting adults to request that filtering or blocking be removed would not address the constitutional rights of minors for whom filtering would almost certainly block constitutionally protected material. As explained above, minors have First Amendment rights that could be violated by broadly applied filtering software.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<li><strong><u>Library installs filtering software on terminals in children's section of library with unfiltered access on other terminals in library.</u></strong><br /><br />Although under this scenario adults would have unfettered access to everything on the Internet, minors still could sue if they were banned from using the non-filtered terminals, because they would not have access to constitutionally protected material of serious value for minors. Because this area is untested, it is not certain whether a minor would be successful in such a suit.<br /><br />
The Supreme Court long has recognized that minors enjoy First Amendment rights. <u>Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District</u>, 393 U.S. 503 (1969). It is also well established that minors' First Amendment rights include the right to receive information. <u>Board of Education v. Pico</u>, 457 U.S. 853 (1982) (plurality opinion). The First Amendment rights of minors are limited in two ways. First, the Supreme Court has held that school officials have significant latitude, in the context of <u>curriculum</u> decisions, to restrict the rights of minors.<sup>7</sup> Of course, that curriculum rationale would not extend to officials at public libraries or, presumably, school libraries. Unlike classrooms, libraries serve to provide the community with a broad array of information and are not entrusted with fulfilling specific educational goals, or with inculcating values.<br /><br />
Second, the rights of minors also are limited to the extent that states may deem certain materials "obscene" for minors even if the materials are not deemed "obscene" for adults.<sup>8</sup> Accordingly, most states have enacted "harmful to minors" statutes in an attempt to restrict minors' access to materials that would be protected by the First Amendment for adults. There are, however, limits on restricting minors' access to "harmful" material. For example, the Supreme Court has made clear that states may not simply ban minors' exposure to a full category of speech, such as nudity, when only a subset of that category can plausibly be deemed "obscene" for them.<sup>9</sup>Additionally, some decisions have suggested that states must determine "obscenity" as to minors by reference to the entire population of minors -- including the oldest minors. Accordingly, any court that reviews a filtering policy would have to take minors' First Amendment rights into account.<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><u>Library provides minors unfiltered access to Internet only with parental permission or provides unfiltered access only if the parents affirmatively object to filtered access.</u></strong><br /><br />While some proponents of restricted Internet access have advocated that no minor should have unfiltered access to the Internet in a public library -- even if that minor's parent would permit such access -- others have proposed parental permission requirements in lieu of mandated filtering for every child. Parental permission requirements also pose significant constitutional concerns. Minors have some constitutional rights that exist regardless of whether their parents want them to exercise those rights. For example, even where states require parental notification or consent if a minor is seeking an abortion, those states have been <u>required</u>, as a constitutional matter, to provide a bypass mechanism for a young woman who demonstrates either that she is mature enough to make the decision herself or that parental notification is not in her best interests. <u>Lambert v. Wicklund</u>, 117 S. Ct. 1169 (1997). Surely the potential consequences of an abortion are far greater, and of more legitimate concern to parents, than the consequences of reading a website discussion about abortion.<br /><br />
The American Library Association Library Bill of Rights recognizes that parents, not librarians, should be responsible for what their <u>own</u> children read or borrow from the library.<sup>10</sup>The Library Bill of Rights recognizes that librarians should not be in the position of determining what minors can and cannot read. Libraries and librarians should not be instruments of control over the reading selections of minors. Of course, it also is not technologically or administratively possible for libraries to install the infinite range of filtering mechanisms that would be needed to reflect the range of parental choices regarding what would be appropriate for their children. Some parents might want their children to have unlimited access to the Internet; others might want their children to have no access. Some parents might want to filter all "sexual" materials, but nothing else; others might want to filter all "violent" materials, but nothing else. Some parents might want to filter any violence or sexual material; others might want to filter only "excessive" violence or sex. Some parents might want to filter all references to drugs; others might want to filter all references to political information. Obviously, in the context of Internet access, the ALA's policy supporting parental control does little to answer the difficult questions libraries must confront. Libraries will of necessity be forced to make whatever filtering decisions they deem most consistent with the primary library mission of providing access to a broad and diverse range of materials.<br /><br />
But although libraries cannot provide whatever filtering options individual parents might desire, librarians certainly can facilitate parental decision-making by providing clear notification to parents about whatever choices the library has made regarding Internet use and filtering. Thus, for example, if parents are notified that a particular public library has decided to offer unfiltered access to the Internet for all patrons regardless of age, parents can decide not to send their own minor children to the library, or could decide to accompany their children to the library.<br /><br />
There are no judicial cases addressing the constitutionality of parental permission requirements for unrestricted Internet access. Thus, imposing parental permission requirements could subject a public library to lawsuit alleging that such requirements infringe minors' First Amendment rights.<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><u>The Academic Library</u></strong><br /><br />Different standards likely will apply in academic library settings as opposed to public library settings. Academic libraries will certainly be given greater latitude than public libraries, on the basis of educational objectives, when restricting access. In <u>Loving v. Boren</u>, 1997 U.S. Dist. Lexis 2921 (W.D. Ok. Jan. 28, 1997), a district judge approved the University of Oklahoma's segregation on its news server of certain newsgroups the university believed might contain obscenity. The university makes the excised newsgroups available only to adults who state that they are using the material for academic or research purposes. Although <u>Loving</u> did not thoroughly address the many difficult First Amendment issues surrounding filtering or access restriction, and is therefore not a strong precedent, the court found that the First Amendment did not prevent the university from allowing access to newsgroups only for "the very [purposes] for which the system was purchased." <u>Id.</u> at *6. It also found that the university computers are not a public forum, <u>see ibid.</u>, a finding that may limit the decision's relevance for public libraries and that suggests that some courts might treat public libraries and school libraries differently.<br /><br />
In <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/19990224043827/http://www.loundy.com/CASES/Urofsky_v_Allen.html"><strong>Urofsky v. Allen</strong></a>, 1998 U.S. Dist. Lexis 2139 (E.D. Va. Feb. 26, 1998), Virginia had enacted a law prohibiting state employees from using state-provided computers to access sexually explicit content on the Internet. The law allowed agency heads to grant waivers in cases where an employee's work required access to forbidden material; information about all waivers would be available to the public. Several state university professors challenged the Act, claiming it interfered with their research. Judge Leonie M. Brinkema (the same judge presiding over the Mainstream Loudoun case) struck down the law on First Amendment grounds. Judge Brinkema analyzed the law as a mass restriction on public employee speech; accordingly, she applied the balancing test of <u>Pickering v. Board of Educ.</u>, 391 U.S. 563 (1968), as modified by <u>United States v. National Treasury Employees Union</u>, 513 U.S. 454 (1995). She concluded that the law significantly burdened public employees' access to information and the public's right to benefit from public employees' use of that information in their work. On the other side of the balance, Judge Brinkema found the law both overinclusive and underinclusive as to the government's stated interests of preventing workplace distractions and avoiding hostile work environments, and she noted the existence of content-neutral alternatives to serve those interests. She dismissed the waiver process as unduly stringent, designed to intimidate agency heads into denying waivers, and unworkable in practice.<br /><br />

<li><strong>CIVIL LIABILITY FOR INSTALLING FILTERING SOFTWARE THAT FAILS TO FILTER OBSCENE MATERIAL OR MATERIAL DEEMED HARMFUL TO MINORS</strong><br /><br />The use of filtering software also might subject libraries to other types of litigation. If a library uses filtering software and a minor is nevertheless able to access obscene or "harmful" material on the Internet, a parent might sue the library for failing to "protect" the minor. Although the parent ultimately may be unsuccessful in demonstrating that the library had a duty to "protect" the minor from accessing certain materials on library computer screens, or that the minor was actually harmed by such exposure, the litigation itself would be costly and time-consuming.<br /><br />
In the context of interpreting the provisions of the Communications Decency Act, some groups took the position that the "good Samaritan" provision of that Act would provide blanket immunity from civil liability for anyone who, in good faith, uses filtering in order to protect children from inappropriate material. This theory is untested. A library contemplating the use of filtering software should, therefore, seek the advice of legal counsel to determine whether state "harmful to minors" statutes provide such protection from civil suit for the <i>failure</i> of filtering software to filter out material later deemed to be harmful to minors. There also remains the unanswered question of how much filtering is sufficient to provide blanket immunity to the library. Must the library filter out material that would be deemed harmful for all minors or only for young minors? Neither the courts nor the legislatures have answered this question.<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>CIVIL LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO USE FILTERING SOFTWARE</strong><br /><br />There is also the potential that a parent might sue a library that fails to use filtering software, alleging that his or her child was harmed by being able to access obscene or harmful material from the Internet through library computers. It is not clear whether the tort law of any state would impose a duty on the library to protect minors from harmful material in the library. Nor is it at all certain that a parent suing the library could demonstrate that actual harm occurred because of such Internet access. Laws will differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Libraries must seek legal advice in their own jurisdictions to determine whether such civil liability exists.<br /><br />
Although there are no guaranteed methods for avoiding civil liability, it would be prudent for libraries to take the following precautions in order to foster positive community relations with patrons and to alert patrons to library policies. Libraries should post their Internet policies in a clear and conspicuous manner, thereby alerting parents to the fact that filtering software is not used (if that is the case). Libraries should offer minors access to Internet sites and direct links to sites developed for children, thereby reducing the already slight chance that a minor would accidentally access any obscene or harmful material.<sup>11</sup> Libraries can also adopt and conspicuously publicize a clear policy statement -- posted at computer terminals with Internet links -- that library policy prohibits the use of library equipment to access material that is obscene, child pornography (or, in the case of minors, harmful to minors).<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO USE FILTERING SOFTWARE UNDER OBSCENITY, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND HARMFUL TO MINORS STATUTES </strong><br /><br />States prohibit the distribution of obscenity and child pornography. Such material is also prohibited by federal criminal statutes. In many jurisdictions, it also violates state statutes to display material that is deemed "harmful to minors." State statutes governing obscenity, child pornography and "harmful to minors" material differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions provide a library exemption. Others do not. Many libraries are concerned that the existence of obscenity, child pornography and "harmful to minors" statutes requires them to use filtering software to limit their potential criminal liability under such statutes. Librarians in such jurisdictions must carefully examine their potential liability. However, it is far from certain that such statutes would apply in the context of Internet access from a library computer.<br /><br />
First, such statutes will have scienter requirements. In other words, these criminal statutes will require some "knowledge" on the part of the accused. The library must determine whether the criminal obscenity, child pornography and harmful to minors statutes in its jurisdiction require that the library "know" that harmful material or obscene material was displayed to minors, or whether it would be sufficient to impose liability simply because the defendant failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent the display of such material to minors. The library must explore with counsel whether it would be sufficient to provide notice to Internet users that the library facilities may not be used to access illegal material, and that the privilege of using the Internet at the library is subject to being revoked if the policy against accessing illegal materials is violated.<br /><br />
Second, the library must seek legal advice to determine whether the definitions governing criminal conduct are vague or overbroad. If the statute does not provide a clear definition for the type of material that would be deemed obscene or "harmful" to minors, then the library probably could not be held liable for violating the statute.<br /><br />
Third, the library must determine whether the obscenity, child pornography and harmful to minors statutes in its jurisdiction apply to Internet displays. The library must determine whether providing access to the Internet is sufficient to satisfy "display" or "distribution" criteria in the criminal statutes.<br /><br />
Finally, in some jurisdictions, a library can avoid criminal liability by taking "reasonable precautions" to prevent the display of "harmful" or obscene material to minors. Arguably, under such statutes there must be precautions short of resorting to filtering software that would be deemed reasonable because, as explained above, using filtering software for all patrons would almost certainly result in First Amendment violations. This is, however, an untested area. We would suggest, therefore, that libraries vigorously urge their legislators and municipal leaders to draft legislation that provides libraries with exemptions from liability under criminal statutes.<br /><br />
While legislative efforts are pending, libraries also should consider seeking Attorney General opinions to clarify the extent of their obligations under obscenity, child pornography and harmful to minors statutes. Libraries -- perhaps through their State Library Associations -- can ask the Attorney General of their state to interpret their obligations under their criminal statutes. Libraries can ask for guidance on how to take reasonable precautions that protect the library from criminal liability, but do not put the library in the position of violating the First Amendment rights of its patrons. Although such opinions generally are only advisory and not binding on courts, they certainly will provide the library with useful guidance and will allow the library to show that it was acting in a good faith effort to comply with all statutory and constitutional obligations.<br /><br />
<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>CIVIL LIABILITY FOR AN ALLEGED HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT RELATED TO PATRON OR EMPLOYEE INTERNET USE </strong><br /><br />Federal civil rights laws afford employees the "right to work in an environment free from discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult." <u>Meritor Savings Bank FSB v. Vinson</u>, 477 U.S. 63, 65 (1986). The argument has been made that Internet access to materials that are offensive due to their sexually explicit nature or their messages regarding race and ethnicity may subject the library to liability for creating a hostile work environment for its employees. Employers can be subject to liability for the actions of their employees in creating a hostile work environment for another employee. Courts recently have held that an employer can be held liable for the actions of a customer or non-employee when the employer ratifies or acquiesces in harassing behavior by failing to take prompt remedial action and the employer knew or should have known of the offending behavior.<sup>12</sup><br /><br />
It is a fundamental principle of First Amendment jurisprudence, however, that a person has a constitutional right to send and receive non-obscene material that may be offensive to others. The government cannot ban speech merely because it is offensive. Libraries thus have the obligation both to provide a non-hostile work environment, and also to insure that patrons and employees can fully exercise their constitutional rights. There is very little guidance from the courts on how these potentially conflicting responsibilities can be resolved.<br /><br />
These issues can, of course, arise regardless of whether the Internet is involved. An employee or patron can bring materials from outside the library to harass an employee of the library. There are several principles that a library must consider in determining what policy is necessary. First, in determining whether behavior is harassment, a court will look to whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or merely an offensive utterance, and whether it unreasonably interferes with the victim's work. Courts have held that where sexually explicit material was for private use only, read only in private places or shared consensually, the prohibition on possessing such material in the workplace in furtherance of a sexual harassment policy violated the reader's First Amendment rights. <u>Johnson v. County of Los Angeles Fire Dep't</u>, 865 F. Supp. 1430 (C.D. Cal. 1994). A court thus should conclude that an image on an Internet screen alone does not create a hostile work environment for the librarian that happens to see the screen. A hostile work environment might be created, however, if the patron taunted a library employee with images on the Internet screen or left printed images of the materials with the librarian for the purpose of harassing that employee.<br /><br />
Second, there are some steps a library can take to minimize its potential liability. For example, a library should adopt a policy making clear that the library does not condone, encourage or tolerate the harassment of employees by other employees or by patrons through the use of any means, whether or not those means include images from the Internet. The library also should establish a procedure for immediately addressing complaints of a hostile work environment by an employee. Such complaints should without delay be directed for investigation to an employment counselor or legal counsel. Finally, the library can take steps to minimize the exposure of employees to images from the Internet that might be deemed offensive by placing Internet terminals in more private areas of the library.<br /><br />
Filtering would not, however, appear to be the solution to this problem. Filtering cannot guarantee that offensive material will be blocked. Nor can filters prevent employees or patrons from using other materials to harass an employee. The obligation of the library as employer to provide its employees with a non-hostile work environment extends beyond the Internet.<br />

<br />
Will Manley's columns in the July/August through October 1993 <i>American Libraries</i> on sexual harassment of staff by patrons, as well as my observations of what my staff suffers in this area, have led me to take a hard look at the environment in which public library service must now be carried out and what effect it is having on library staff and leadership.<br />
<br />
Although Manley's survey is admittedly not a scientific one, the responses it provoked indicate clearly that public service staff in many libraries cannot rely on their administrators to protect them from harassment. In fact, many respondents reported that their supervisors gave strong signals that they do not even want such harassment reported to them. When I read about these attitudes, I was both appalled and filled with wonder (in both meanings of the word) that so many administrators are reluctant to try to protect their employees.<br />
<br />
In his September column (p. 756), Manley posits several reasons for this reluctance to act, from isolation from reality to fear of publicity, but I think he gets at the crux of the problem when he says, "There is a natural tendency for people to endure a difficult problem rather than face the pain and trouble of solving it." However, I believe that the problem is more complex than the cliched "ignore it and it will go away" reaction.<br />
<br />
When I started to work as a reference librarian in a public library in 1976, there was an occasional "odd person" hanging around, and the "peeper" has been with us since the first library door opened. Even so, I did not feel threatened when I was at the reference desk. I believe that as our society has turned increasingly dysfunctional the situation of the reference librarian has changed to a marked degree. The "problem patron" who in the mid-70s was a mere annoyance is now often perceived as a real threat. Many of the people who walk through the doors of public libraries today are frightening in aspect and behavior and appear to be deranged. They are victims of homelessness, hopelessness, unemployment, or a mental health system that has abandoned them. Following them across the threshold are twisted men from all walks of life who apparently believe that any woman in a public place is offering herself for their delectation.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Threats of all kinds</h4>
<br />
In addition, public service staff must also endure people who believe they have the right to be verbally abusive if they are simply not pleased. It must not be forgotten that harassment is not only sexual in nature -- the perception of a possible threat to one's life is more distressing to most people than a threat to one's virtue, and foul language is an assault weapon in its effect on some people. Both physical and psychological well-being are impinged upon. Reference staff (and other public service staff), who are harassed and feel threatened frequently, are all too aware of random acts of violence against librarians that have occurred in recent years. Most administrators know this; so why do they turn their backs on this knowledge?<br />
<br />
Perhaps many administrators do not want specific incidences of the problem reported to them because they do not know how to solve the problem. Their impotence makes them feel frustrated and vulnerable as managers; thus they would rather not be reminded of the problem they cannot solve.<br />
<br />
I do not shrink from confronting the harassment problems that are reported to me, and I am willing to use all legal means available to thwart harassment of my staff, but I cannot provide a completely comfortable or truly safe environment in which to work. I cannot make the majority of people walking through the doors kind, gentle, and in possession of all their faculties: and I cannot, until they commit some illegal act, keep out those who are not. And I know that therefore I cannot alleviate the state of anxiety that my public service staff functions in. This realization causes me to have constant anxiety and even feelings of guilt. Guilt is perhaps the most difficult human emotion to cope with, and thus we all try to avoid situations that bring it on. I particularly hate contemplating a scenario in which things get worse in our society and thus in our libraries, but I see no indications that they are going to improve.<br />
<br />
If things do get worse -- if the guns begin to be toted by preschoolers and no adult stranger is to be trusted within an arm's reach -- what will public libraries be like? Will we deliver reference materials and information from behind bullet-proof screens? Will pages have to be accompanied by armed guards while they put books, videos, and CDs back on the shelves? Will the reluctance of librarians to be in the physical presence of patrons spur the move to delivery of information by electronic means? I can envision librarians sitting at terminals in a locked room, with the public service areas of libraries occupied by banks of other terminals, reminiscent of the TV ad in which the poor bank customer inquiring about a loan finds that the only communication available to him is video images.<br />
<br />
This may be scoffed at by some as a science fiction scenario, but I do not believe that's necessarily the case. Many of those librarians who responded to Manley's survey would be happy, right now, today, to have a protective screen between them and the patrons they serve. Administrators cannot presently provide any type of screen, except that of whatever security system is in place -- and even that is nonexistent in many libraries.<br />
<br />
I do not know what administrators may eventually be forced to do to protect their employees from an increasingly threatening environment; but along with TQM and surfing the Internet, it is something we must think about. We cannot hide from it by refusing to acknowledge the problem. That is not a satisfactory response and those who resort to it need to be made to know that. This issue needs to be placed at the top of the agenda of concerns to be discussed by the profession at its gatherings, and it has to become part of the management milieu.<br />

Librarians, here is a possible chance to speak directly to the EEOC about your libraries. And I'll do it for you if you wish to remain anonymous.<br />
<br />
Are you working in a sexually hostile environment as a result of unfiltered Internet computers and all the porn being viewed there? Has your management ignored you because American Library Association [ALA] misled them that Internet pornography is a First Amendment right in public libraries? Are you afraid to loss your job for speaking up about the problem? Have you spoken up and been told to shut up or quit? Have you shut up or quit? Now's your chance to have a say, directly to the EEOC.<br />

I want my readers to understand the American Library Association [ALA] intentionally hides the dog not barking when it advises local communities, namely, the sexual harassment of librarians and library employees. I provide as evidence a recent news story where ALA is misleading yet another community, potentially leaving its library employees and librarians to work in a sexually hostile work environment. Instead of writing more, read the letter I am sending to the library, local government and local media:<br />
<br />

<br />
Dear Chapel Hill Public Library Director Susan Brown,<br />
<br />
I’m Dan Kleinman of SafeLibraries and I have information for you, the library board, and the town council to consider regarding library Internet filters and how they are negatively portrayed by the American Library Association [ALA]. My opinion will be based on over a decade of my activity in this area and on the <i>Durham Herald-Sun</i> article entitled, “Chapel Hill Town Council to Ponder Online Filter at Library,” by Tammy Grubb, 7 January 2017 ( <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com/news/chapel-hill-town-council-to-ponder-online-filter-at-library/article_9e8aea20-d513-11e6-b7ed-0bbaff37e801.html" target="_blank">http://www.heraldsun.com/news/chapel-hill-town-council-to-ponder-online-filter-at-library/article_9e8aea20-d513-11e6-b7ed-0bbaff37e801.html</a> ). When linking to sources on my own publications, I merely provide a convenient means to present primary source material for your consideration, such as the video of a library employee speaking out about the sexual harassment she suffered as a result of the library’s adherence to ALA policy that allowed a hostile work environment instead of adhering to the law; management told her don’t let the door hit you on the way out if you don’t like it.<br />
<br />
First, a member of the Federal Communications Commission [FCC] has said library Internet filters work well and libraries not using them should reconsider past decisions to not use them. I have written about this here: “FCC: Library Filters Work, Having Them is a Community Decision, and Libraries Should Revisit CIPA Filters Due to Technological Advances” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/08/visser.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/08/visser.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
Second, former American Library Association President Carla Hayden, testifying before US Congress before being confirmed as Librarian of Congress, said filters work well and libraries should block Internet pornography. I have written about this here: “Librarian of Congress Nominee Carla Hayden Misleads Congress But Speaks Truth About Filtering” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2016/05/carla-hayden.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2016/05/carla-hayden.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
Third, even ALA leadership itself admitted library filters work well and no longer block “breast cancer,” for example, when forced into it by a National Public Radio [NPR] affiliate in response to a court deciding libraries need not unblock porn sites for patrons: “ALA Admits Library Filters Work; Barbara Jones Bursts Her Own Breast Cancer Bubble” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2012/02/ala-admits-library-filters-work-barbara.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2012/02/ala-admits-library-filters-work-barbara.html</a> ). <br />
<br />
This is remarkable as just a week before ALA wrote in the Huffington Post that filters block “breast cancer.” Only when forced into it on an NPR affiliate did the truth come out. This is a 100% turnaround in only a week, and it only came about only after ALA was publicly challenged. This is an example of why ALA refuses to participate in any public challenges of its harmful policies (but is happy to have the media blindly repeat them).<br />
<br />
Fourth, the US Supreme Court ruled against the American Library Association on the issue of library filters. In 2003, <i>US v. ALA</i> held that there is no First Amendment protection for viewing Internet pornography in public libraries since libraries have traditionally blocked porn ( <a href="http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html" target="_blank">http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html</a> ). ALA, having lost this case, misleads people by intentionally not talking about porn as <i>US v. ALA</i> did repeatedly but instead calling it “constitutionally protected material.” Yes, Internet porn is indeed constitutionally protected material, but SCOTUS ruled that is not the case in public libraries. And notice in the <i>Durham Herald-Sun</i> article ALA is using this same deception to mislead your own community: “The American Library Association does not recommend Internet filters, saying they can block ‘constitutionally protected speech, including content on social networking and gaming sites, compromises First Amendment freedoms and the core values of librarianship.’”<br />
<br />
Those “core values of librarianship” are not the core values of any community. The “core values” include that it is “age” discrimination to keep children from reading any material whatsoever. It’s in ALA’s so-called “Library Bill of Rights,” as if it were some kind of document of national importance. Yet obviously communities think it perfectly appropriate to protect themselves including their children from inappropriate material. As the Court in <i>US v. ALA</i> put it, “The interest in protecting young library users from material inappropriate for minors is legitimate, and even compelling, as all Members of the Court appear to agree” ( <a href="http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html" target="_blank">http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/539/194.html</a> ). So the “core values of librarianship” are not the core values of anyone else.<br />
<br />
Fifth, ALA uses a disgraced expert to claim filters do not work. It even touts a recent report it had drafted on the topic, but the author of that merely cited to the disgraced expert’s work. This is of relevance since ALA is now misleading your community on this point. As the <i>Durham Herald-Sun</i> article states, “The association notes the software can be unreliable, blocking too much or too little content, and letting experienced computer users circumvent the filters.” That comes from the disgraced expert. You see, her work was conducted many years ago, at a point when filters really did cause trouble. But times have changed, as the FCC and the Librarian of Congress have noted. The disgraced expert’s work has not been updated. <br />
<br />
And I say disgraced because she is the only member of a three person team who did not apologize for making false claims of sexual harassment against a fellow librarian. After a year and a half of harassment by those librarians, the man lost his career. Two of the librarians admitted they lied and apologized, but ALA’s disgraced filtering expert never did, likely because that would call into question her false claims about library filtering, and she’s ALA’s one and only expert on the subject. I have written about this here: “TeamHarpy Faked Sexual Harassment, Hurting True Efforts to Stop It” ( <a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/03/teamharpy-faked-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">http://www.librarians.cc/2015/03/teamharpy-faked-sexual-harassment.html</a> ); “RIP Nat Hentoff: He Exposed the Shame of the American Library Association” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2017/01/rip-nat-hentoff.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2017/01/rip-nat-hentoff.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
So, literally, ALA is misleading your community to think filters do not work based on old research by a woman who destroyed a man’s career with false claims of his being a “sexual predator.” <br />
<br />
In a more insidious way of misleading your community, ALA is not advising your community that library filters have vastly improved and even the FCC and the Librarian of Congress now say so.<br />
<br />
One can sense the reporter at the <i>News & Observer </i>could smell a rat since the next paragraph points to another library having no trouble at all with filters: “The Orange County Public Library hasn’t had any problems with its software, in place for several years, director Lucinda Munger said. The filters meet the minimum requirements, which can let offensive materials slip through, she said.”<br />
<br />
Sixth, there is also the question of state law. Does your state law punish obscenity? Are libraries exempt? Does your state law have an exemption from sexually hostile work environments for public libraries? Does your state law allow for the creation of public libraries for anything whatsoever or for the use and benefit of the public? Internet pornography is neither for the use nor for the benefit of the public. Providing Internet porn in libraries, the natural result of having no filters, may violate state law. A library may be autonomous, but only to act within the law, not to exceed it.<br />
<br />
ALA has bullied its law-defying ways into many libraries. Much harm has resulted from that, including the sexual harassment of librarians that ALA says never happened and never will. I have written about this here: “Sexual Harassment of Librarians Never Happens; Child Pornography is Intellectual Freedom” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html</a> ). <br />
<br />
Indeed, ALA does not advise that a lack of Internet filtering can lead to legal actions against libraries and municipalities. It’s like the dog not barking. I would think knowing a lack of Internet filters may increase liability risks for taxpayers may be of interest to decision makers. ALA is promoting its own policy by leaving out that libraries might be sued over sexual harassment caused by Internet porn-viewing patrons. But such harassment occurs frequently and victims are often afraid to speak out. Here’s a library employee/victim who spoke out, only after eight years after she quit, and I present video and a transcript: “Library Insider Linda Zec Gives Scoop on Porn in Libraries” ( <a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/linda-zec.html" target="_blank">http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/linda-zec.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
Conversely, ALA advises that blocking Internet pornography might lead to a library/municipality being sued. That has never happened and never will, precisely because SCOTUS ruled there’s no First Amendment right to Internet porn in public libraries, there’s no free speech right to Internet porn in public libraries. When I made that statement in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>, ALA piped up to say I was false, that libraries have been sued for blocking porn, and gave as an example a legal case that was about blocking LGBT material but not porn. ALA literally lied to make that statement because the same ALA leader just a year and a half earlier made a different statement about the same case. As this shows, ALA will intentionally mislead to convince people to think whatever it wants them to think. I have written about this here: “ALA Admits Libraries Have Never Been Sued for Blocking Porn” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2013/11/NeverBeenSued.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2013/11/NeverBeenSued.html</a> ); “ALA Misleads on Internet Pornography in Libraries” ( <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2013/11/ALAMisleads.html" target="_blank">http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2013/11/ALAMisleads.html</a> ).<br />
<br />
So ALA advises libraries might be sued for blocking Internet porn, which will never happen, and leaves out that libraries and municipalities are indeed sued for failing to block Internet porn, thereby creating a hostile work environment. It even scoffs at that idea after I forced it to discuss the issue, as I linked above. Does anyone want to work in a hostile work environment that invites sexual harassment? Yet ALA misleads communities into rationalizing why Internet filters should not be used in public libraries. Do you want your community and your library employees, librarians, trustees, and patrons to be subjected to a sexually hostile work environment? Of course not.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the words of the FCC and the Librarian of Congress will guide you instead of the misleading diktat of the ALA that is in part derived from an outdated and disgraced expert who lied and thereby destroyed a man’s career. Hopefully you’ll think about what I said and decide to comply with the law and community standards, let alone common sense, instead of with ALA’s intentionally deceptive diktat.<br />
<br />
I’ll be happy to answer any questions, of course, from you or from those whom I have CC’d. Feel free to write or call me at 973-610-8296.<br />

NOTE ADDED 25 JANUARY 2017:<br />
<br />
The town voted down the filters claiming, falsely, that certain words will prevent finding medical information: "'Certain words can cause you not to see an entire website that might have medical or pertinent information that you're researching,' said Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="http://abc11.com/news/chapel-hill-strikes-down-porn-blocker-for-public-library/1718895/" target="_blank">Chapel Hill Strikes Down Porn-Blocker for Public Library</a>," by <b>Stephanie Lopez</b>, <i>ABC 11 Eyewitness News WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham</i>, 24 January 2017.</li>
</ul>
Well she's wrong, so I commented as follows:<br />
<br />
"'Certain words can cause you not to see an entire website that might have medical or pertinent information that you're researching,' said Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger."<br />
<br />
That is openly false and has been for years.<br />
<br />
Any harm that results from unfiltered Internet computers, including s3xually harassed librarians and library employees, can now be laid directly at the feet of the Chapel Hill government. That government should then be sued, as others have, to the full extent of the law. That mayor should be sued personally as well.<br />
<br />
Anyone reading this in the future needing help suing for damages, please contact me.<br />
<br />
That lady should be thrown out of office at the next election and replaced with someone who will comply with the law, common sense, and community standards.<br />
<br />
Evidence of community standards is as follows, a poll showing 84% favoring pornography filters:<br />

Regarding the Mayor and others in the government who decided not to use Internet filters in the public library or who contributed in any way with the decision, I’ll call them “the government” either individually or as a group. Media reported a decision was made by the government not to use Internet filters in the library, in part because words or phrases would cause the filters to block health information. I’ll call that the “decision.”<br />
<br />
This FOIA request seeks all communications in all formats (letters, emails, social media messages private and public, tweets, audio recordings, etc.) sent to the government and responses from the government that pertain to the decision, laws relating to public libraries, or any other topic related to the decision, including communications to/from the library director, anyone else locally, anyone else nationwide, any group such as the American Library Association, or any filtering supply company. No one should be excluded.<br />
<br />
Note this FOIA includes those CC’d and BCC’d on emails. BBC is a convenience for the letter writer, not a means to evade FOIA. Similarly, use of direct messages in social media is a convenience for the people involved, not a means to evade FOIA.<br />
<br />
Note that where a distribution list is used that is under the control of the government, the individual addresses/emails/identities/names contained in that distribution list is also requested via this FOIA request, whether that distribution list is used in the TO, CC, or BCC section of the relevant document.<br />
<br />
I also ask for all notes taken by the government as a result of reading or participating in the various communications, whether handwritten or electronically recorded, and for all written or verbal/audio directives to destroy such notes no matter who or what group made the directive.<br />
<br />
I am not asking for attorney-client privileged information. <br />
<br />
However, if a person is a lawyer, but no legitimate attorney-client relationship is present, then any FOIA response must include information from such a person. I say this to be clear that communication cannot be withheld even if it comes from a lawyer, unless that lawyer is in a non-sham attorney-client relationship with the government. <br />
<br />
If any information is withheld on the basis of attorney-client privilege, please identify the name and address of the person having entered any attorney-client relationship with the government. <br />
<br />
Certainly the decision by the government was not made in a vacuum. I know I, for example, sent you information on the issue. I expect that to be including in the other information included in the FOIA response. It’s only a single email from me and perhaps a tweet or two from @SafeLibraries so this should not be burdensome in the slightest.<br />
<br />
The information returned under this FOIA will be published by me on SafeLibraries and/or on Sexual Harassment of Librarians after my investigation. This is a matter of public importance and public safety, so please waive any fees.<br />
<br />
I request that where possible the documents provided in response to the FOIA request be made available in PDF format, and all audio recordings be made in common audio formats such as MP3. All should be provided as attachments to an email sent to SafeLibraries@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much.<br />

Please help this librarian dealing with sexual harassment in a public library:<br />

To start, I have already taken this issue to my supervisor and she is looking into this. So, I'm not looking for advice on how to get my boss to take this seriously or anything. I'm looking for advice on how to handle this situation in the moment. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On to the patron. He comes in semiregularly. He likes to flirt with the women in circulation, the department I work in. He is just subtle enough though, for us to be unable to really do anything about. For example, we wear lanyards that have our name tag on them, along with buttons that the library provides. He will ask us about the buttons or our names, but he's actually just checking out our chests. He has followed women around while they're shelving to the point that others have stepped in and told him to leave us alone. The answer to that was an email saying if we were uncomfortable, we were encouraged to go somewhere else or do something else to get out of the situation. But this dude stares and makes comments that are just too little to do anything about, such as asking the younger women if they are married yet. I need advice for 1) telling him professionally that I know what he's up to and that it is not appreciated and 2) getting over the feeling that I need to scour my skin with steel wool after. I've dealt with plenty of perverts prior, but none have given me this uncomfortable feeling like he can, and they've been blatant enough for us to do something about it </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Thanks for reading and for any advice!</blockquote>
I responded as follows (hyperlinks added):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Creepy. I'm only a volunteer librarian and I would not know how to address this situation. So the following are wild guesses. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I would consider checking <a href="http://www.familywatchdog.us/" target="_blank">sexual harassment databases</a> and the like to see if he is present. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I would also consider asking my boss to request the assistance of police in how to address this kind of situation; police must have experience in this. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If management says, as some libraries do, "<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2011/08/birmingham-needs-another-mlk-moment-no.html" target="_blank">if you don't like it, don't let the door hit you on the way out</a>," then I'd go directly to the police to ask for assistance, and I would file an EEOC complaint against the library -- perhaps make a recording of your conversation with management if/when they tell you to get lost. You do not need to be pressured into working in a sexually harassing environment because management refuses to take action to stop the sexual harassment, and if you quit as a result of management's refusal to address the sexual harassment, that might be considered "constructive discharge" entitling you to a pile of benefits while potentially forcing positive change at the library that protects the remaining library employees. Be prepared mentally that <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">ALA will provide you no assistance whatsoever as it has stated librarians are never sexually harassed, likely never will be, and any past filings by librarians with the EEOC or legal cases were really over nothing</a>.</blockquote>
It is noteworthy that even as a librarian reaches out for help with sexual harassment and I and many others provide substantive answers/suggestions, trolls who support the <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">American Library Association's pooh poohing of sexually harassed librarians</a> ignore the serious issue and continue the personal attacks instead, but I won't quote them here; they basically found my saying I am a volunteer librarian as the excuse to ridicule me.<br />

Some librarians are willing to keep other librarians silent about sexual harassment and its causes within librarianship.<br />
<br />
This "<i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i>" resource has been recognized as useful by at least one actually sexually harassed librarian, apparently, after only a month in existence as a locus for information that could help sexual harassed librarians. What a great feeling it is for someone to say she wants other librarians to see this resource. <br />
<br />
Still, she was afraid of the attacks, "reprisals" as she put it, against anyone who speaks out against the <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">American Library Association [ALA] policy that enables sexual harassment of librarians, namely, its law-defying, pro-child porn policy (link)</a>. <br />
<br />
Sure enough, a member of <a href="https://teamharpy.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">the "TeamHarpy" group of librarians (link)</a> tries to convince people *not* to follow her advice to read <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> by attacking the messenger and never addressing the issue. He proclaimed I violated copyright and that I have not received permission of the author, one of the TeamHarpy members. Some people will do anything to keep people from learning how ALA is directly responsible for sexual harassment of librarians.<br />

Watch as an anonymous librarian praises this <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> resource while getting repeatedly bullied by a TeamHarpy supporter, right up to the point where she feels her sexual harassment has been triggered. See how see fears exactly this kind of personal attacks the TeamHarpy supporter uses to silence her, and she turns out to be 100% correct. Eventually, she feels her sexual harassment has been triggered and she deletes her account, silencing herself forever, the very censorship TeamHarpy and those like them seek when they ignore the real issues and relentlessly attack the messenger. Now there's one less sexual harassed librarian willing to speak out.<br />
<br />
The importance of noting this is that librarians need to know there are others out there who have been sexually harassed while working in a library. They are afraid to speak up. They are bullied into silence. Or they are <a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/constructive-discharge-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">constructively discharged</a> (<a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/constructive-discharge-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">link</a>). But they are there and some people are willing to listen.<br />
<br />
<i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> is hereby asking those librarians to contact us and we will publish your stories anonymously here. Hopefully pressure will build to the point where people finally decide to put an end to the sexual harassment of librarians, no matter who stands in the way with diversionary <i>ad hominem</i> argument. Similar <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2015/10/bbw.html" target="_blank">pressure is beginning to foretell an end to the Banned Books Week hoax</a> (<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2015/10/bbw.html" target="_blank">link</a>).<br />
<br />
Here is the announcement of the link to "<a href="https://redd.it/2ul5j7" target="_blank">Starting a Dialogue about Sexual Harassment in Libraries</a> (<a href="https://redd.it/2ul5j7" target="_blank">link</a>)" posted by anonymous librarian "hereitis8819," now showing as "[deleted]." Watch as she is bullied for posting the link instead of a link to the original ALA publication called <i>American Libraries</i>. Watch the bullying build to the point where the women feels triggered. Eventually she deletes her account, forced into silence by the bullying, which is the whole purpose of the smears.<br />
<br />
The bully is TeamHarpy supporter Michael Sauers, who at the time was the Technology Innovation Librarian, Nebraska Library Commission, Lincoln, NE and is "<a href="http://travelinlibrarian.info/about/" target="_blank">currently the Director of Technology for Do Space in Omaha, NE (link)</a>.<br />

Republished below are the comments by the likely sexually harassed librarian and the bullying comments to which she responds. It is shameful how she was treated by TeamHarpy. It shows that some librarians will do absolutely anything to promote ALA no matter who gets harmed, in this case, triggering a sexually harassed librarian and forcing her to delete her account. And <a href="http://twitter.com/safelibraries/status/562612563155107840" target="_blank">I had just told him, before he bullied the librarian, to stop harassing me (link)</a>.<br />
<br />
Michael Sauers's only regret for having bullied the sexually harassed librarian into feeling triggered then into self-censoring was that he got caught doing it, as this 6 August 2015 comment shows: "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/ALAthinkTANK/permalink/891546367584851/?comment_id=891646804241474&offset=0&total_comments=54&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D" target="_blank">Michael Sauers: Do not engage.

His comment has three "likes." One of the "likes" is from Kristen Pekoll, the Assistant Director of the American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom. So much for intellectual freedom from the Office for Intellectual Freedom. Does she know she's high fiving the guy who bullied a sexually harassed librarian into silence? <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" target="_blank">Her Office for Intellectual Freedom, after all, is directly involved in claiming sexual harassment of librarians never happens (link)</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are the Reddit comments with my notations intercalated:<br />
<br />
<b>Anonymous Librarian (hereitis8819): </b> "<a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/harassment.html" target="_blank">Starting a Dialogue about Sexual Harassment in Libraries #teamharpy (link)</a>"<br />
<br />
[Note: she includes the #TeamHarpy tag likely because she wants the alleged sexually harassed librarians using the #TeamHarpy hashtag on Twitter to see what she linked on Reddit, and I updated the link.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers:</b> "Really, if you're going to link to this article, link to the original, not to a copy that's been posted in violation of the author's copyright and has been asked to be removed by the original publisher." <br />
<br />
[Note, he is telling the original poster she should not have linked to me.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers:</b> "Ok, I'll admit that I'm not the person who gets to determine whether this reprint of the complete article is a copyright violation or not. That's just my opinion, and maybe I'm wrong. Even if it isn't a copyright violation, general scholarly, blogger, and librarian ethics says you should have quoted from the article, provided your commentary as you are want to do, and then linked to the original giving those who choose to read the whole article the opportunity to do so, and to give the original author and publisher the Google juice, not you, the commentator. Fact: The original publisher has asked that you take it down and you've refused. You also changed your post in response to their request. Is that an admission that at least in part you got it wrong? However, my original comment and down-vote still stands. If the redditor's intent was to draw attention to the original author's article, then, like any good librarian, the redditor should have linked to the original." <br />
<br />
[Note: the "redditor" is the original Reddit editor, namely the anonymous librarian who posted the <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> link. He's telling her she's not a "good librarian" because she did not link directly to <i>American Libraries</i>. So much for free speech. The sexually harassed librarian might not have seen that post buried in <i>American Libraries</i> were it not for it's having been added to <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i>. Essentially, Michael Sauers is complaining I made the article visible and more accessible for sexually harassed librarians and he does not want people to do that.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers: </b> "For the record, I've taken back nothing. I still believe you're violating copyright. I just said that it's not my ultimate decision to make and pointed out that I'm willing to consider that I may be wrong. I also did not tell people not to look at it, I told the original poster that it would have been better to link to the original, not your copy, and included my reasoning for doing so." <br />
<br />
[Note: So this is the third comment now where he bullies the original poster for linking to <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> instead of <i>American Libraries</i>.]<br />
<br />
<b>SafeLibraries:</b> "Did you ever consider there might be a reason why the original poster linked to my version? Perhaps he/she wants people to see the entirety of 'Sexual Harassment of Librarians' instead of the entirety of 'American Libraries' magazine?" <br />
<br />
[Note: As we shall see, this turns out to be right on the money.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers: </b>"Yes, and the original poster is more than welcome to reply to my comment." <br />
<br />
[Note: This TeamHarpy supporter is now bating the anonymous librarian to speak up.]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anonymous Librarian</b><b> (hereitis8819)</b><b>:</b> "<span style="color: red;">sorry</span>, I was just <span style="color: red;">trying to raise awareness</span> about an issue that's important to me... <span style="color: red;">:(</span> "</span><br />
<br />
[Note: Isn't that a sad answer? Frowny face and all. She was "just trying to raise awareness about an issue that's important to me" and Michael Sauers and members and other supporters of TeamHarpy are right there to ridicule her for posting the link on Reddit and me for posting it at all. They show absolutely zero interest in the underlying issue. When Michael Sauers sees this, he has to immediately correct her thinking, as we are about to see.]<br />

<b>Michael Sauers:</b> "Fair enough and I appreciate the effort in general.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anonymous Librarian</b><b> (hereitis8819)</b><b>: </b> "ok, <span style="color: red;">sorry</span> i'm a <span style="color: red;">bad librarian</span> for caring about <span style="color: red;">preventing sexual harassment</span>... i found this website (Safe Libraries) about sexual harassment in libraries and wanted to share it here, but this is a throwaway account because i'm <span style="color: red;">worried about reprisals</span>."</span><br />
<br />
[Note: He bullies her into saying she is "sorry," into admitting she is a "bad librarian," and into being sorry for "caring about preventing sexual harassment." Thank you, Michael Sauers, the bully of the Nebraska Library Commission at that time. But look what else she reveals. Yes, she "found this website (Safe Libraries) about sexual harassment in libraries and wanted to share it here," and that made us authors (Kevin and Dan) feel terrific that we were already helping likely sexually harassed librarians after only month building this new resource. But she also revealed that librarians like her are <i>afraid</i> of librarians like Michael Sauers! "[T]his is a throwaway account because i'm worried about reprisals." Reprisals! And Micheal Sauers delivers that in spades, to the point where she is apologizing for being a bad librarian and caring about the sexual harassment of librarians! Way to go, Michael Sauers! You've done yourself proud! Oh no, Micheal Sauers is <i>still</i> not done harassing this woman. Read on.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers: </b> "I apologize if you feel that I've misrepresented you or made you feel like you needed fear reprisals in any way. I'm also someone who cares about harassment issues. All I was trying to address was the link to a disputed copy of the article as opposed to the original. My intent was to raise a netiquette issue and nothing more. Again I apologize for any discomfort I may have caused you." <br />
<br />
[Note: The patronizing continues, then there's the fifth or sixth time Michael Sauers is telling her she's a bad librarian even after he knows he has successfully bullied her into apologizing for caring about the issue. To hide the issue of the cause for the sexually harassment of librarians being the ALA, he pulls "a netiquette issue and nothing more" out of his hat. Netiquette is <i>way</i> more important than the sexual harassment of librarians, after all. Obviously his repeating the same thing over and over shows he is not listening to her. It shows he could care less about her concerns because his are far more important. It belittles her and her feelings. It reminds her of how she was treated when she was sexually harassed in her workplace and wanted the library to stop it. How do I know? What follows is the saddest comment of all.]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anonymous Librarian</b><b> (hereitis8819)</b><b>: </b> "thanks, that's nice of you to say. it's just <span style="color: red;">frustrating to try and talk about an important issue</span> and then see <span style="color: red;">people downvote it like it doesn't exist</span>. like, if you look through this thread, <span style="color: red;">no one's even talking about the issue itself, it's all about a copyright</span>/reprint deal.sorry, don't mean to dump on you, guess i've just had enough internet for one day, <span style="color: red;">feeling kinda triggered tbh</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">have a nice day. :)" </span><br />
<br />
[Note: And there it is, "feeling kinda triggered tbh" where tbh = to be honest. Isn't this truly sad? Michael Sauers has beaten her down so much, and Team Harpy member Lisa Rabey feigns concern only for copyright and permissions issues, that <b>someone who apparently is a sexually harassed librarian seeking help and trying to let others know about a resource she found useful gets <span style="color: red;">bullied</span> to the point where she gets <span style="color: red;">triggered</span> into feeling like she did when she was being <span style="color: red;">sexually harassed</span></b>. Well done, Team Harpy, you've defended your turf and ALA's by bullying and censoring a sexually harassed librarian.]<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Sauers: </b> "I would really like to take this conversation with you off Reddit. If you're willing, there's a contact form on my site @ travelinlibrarian.info."<br />
<br />
[Note: Finally Michael Sauer realizes his reeducation process has been unsuccessful but does not want her to respond further since it makes him look worse and worse, so he tells the women whom he is harassing to contact <i>him</i>! Offline! Personal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansplaining" target="_blank">mansplaining (link)</a> since he obviously was not successful here! And as his 6 August 2015 comment pictured above shows, he blames me for his harassing the woman, not himself, and urges other librarians, "Do not engage. Repeat DO NOT ENGAGE!"]<br />
<br />
<b>Anonymous Librarian</b><b> (hereitis8819)</b><b>:</b> "ok, another day maybe. thanks."<br />
<br />
[Note: Actually, no other day will she contact him because she was bullied into silence by him and others in Team Harpy and immediately deleted her Reddit account.]<br />
<br />
<b>This has got to be one of the meanest and most embarrassing incidents in librarianship.</b> Yes, librarians tell off other librarians occasionally, especially members of ALA Council telling off each other, but for a librarian to <b>repeatedly bully an obviously sexually harassed librarian</b> for daring to link to <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i>, particularly where that librarian is a supporter of TeamHarpy that supposedly opposes sexual harassment of librarians truly takes the cake. What is disgrace. Michael Sauers, you are a disgrace.<br />
<br />
People should also know this, all the attacks and down votes where designed to distract from the total fraud that was Team Harpy:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/03/teamharpy-faked-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">TeamHarpy Faked Sexual Harassment, Hurting True Efforts to Stop It</a>," by <b>Dan Kleinman</b>, <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i>, 25 March 2015.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Of course, everything written at <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> not from a reliable source is our opinion. The way <b>Michael Sauers belittled and triggered that anonymous sexually harassed librarian</b> <b>repeatedly</b> is plain for everyone to see, and it is in his own words. What a disgrace.<br />
<br />
When <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> says ALA will not help sexually harassed librarians because ALA policy is directly responsible for the sexual harassment, this is just another incident along the way of how ALA bullies sexually harassed librarians into silence, in this case via acolytes. <br />
<br />
By the way, hundreds of librarians including ALA leadership at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/ALAthinkTANK/" target="_blank">Facebook group called <i>ALA Think Tank</i> (link)</a> where bully Michael Sauers warned people DO NOT ENGAGE are working to delete from the Internet years of evidence of the sexual harassment of librarians and library employees at a page called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StoryTimeDigitalMedia/" target="_blank"><i>Fans of Megan Fox</i> (link)</a> written by <i>Sexual Harassment of Librarians</i> coauthor Kevin DuJan.<br />
<br />
As the Michael Sauers bully shows, when it's librarian versus librarian, sexual harassment wins. Want your voice to rise above the bullies? Contact us, Kevin and Dan, and we will publish your story anonymously. We will go over the heads of ALA and, as anonymous sexually harassed librarian hereitis8819 (bullied/triggered into being deleted) illustrates, people are noticing.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Code of Conduct for NJLA Conference</h2>
The New Jersey Library Association sponsors a variety of forums, meetings and professional development opportunities, including the annual spring Conference. The purpose of these events is to provide NJ librarians with opportunities to learn, connect and grow, which we believe to have a positive impact on the development and improvement of libraries throughout the state.<br />
<br />
NJLA does not tolerate harassment of members, attendees, staff, venue workers, speakers or other participants at any meetings or events sponsored by the organization. Speakers are asked to frame discussion as openly and inclusively as possible and to be aware of how language or images may be perceived by others. Participants may - and do - exercise their option to leave a session or a conversation. As a statewide professional development association for librarians and library workers in New Jersey, the events sponsored by NJLA are an extension of work and no person should work under threat of harassment.<br />
<br />
In an effort to create an environment based on mutual respect and free of harassment, some behaviors are specifically prohibited:<br />
<ul>
<li>stalking (physically or virtually)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>offensive verbal comments</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>bathroom policing</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>unwelcome physical attention or contact</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>intimidation</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>physical assault and/or battery</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>sustained disruption of events</li>
</ul>
<br />
All participants and presenters are expected to observe these rules and behaviors at all NJLA meetings or events. Any breach of this code of conduct should be reported immediately to the NJLA Executive Director or Event Organizers, who will determine appropriate action and consequences.<br />
<br />
To report a problem or incident to the NJLA Executive Director or Event Organizers during the 2015 NJLA Conference in Long Branch:<br />

Still the greatest tragedy here, in my opinion is that so many women suffer sexual harassment and most of the time the perpetrators get away with it. And this whole sordid affair [#TeamHarpy] did little to help the cause of encouraging women to come forward. I’ve been sexually harassed and stalked and never reported any of it. But it was when a faculty member at a former job who used to stand too close to me and would put his arm around my waist sometimes later escalated to grabbing a colleagues breasts that I realized my silence was hurting other women. Because men who do things like this don’t just do it once. If they get away with something that you consider too minor to report, they may escalate to doing something much worse to someone else. We have to find more ways to help women feel safe reporting harassment. I’m happy that more conferences now have codes of conduct and discernible methods of reporting inappropriate behavior, and that will help, but it’s not enough. </blockquote>

Here's a published letter to the editor supporting sexually harassed librarians, "Neither patrons nor library employees should be forced to suffer with sexual activity of any kind in the OPPL," and urging new library trustees to take action to protect them from further harassment:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 Steps to Fixing the OPPL</span><br />
<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
<br />
There are three simple steps that the Orland Park Public Library Board of Trustees can take to make the library a safer place for children and families and fix the problems I have observed in this library in recent years.<br />
<br />
First, the OPPL needs to install filters on its adult computers to block child pornography and other illegal content from being accessed and to prevent men from arousing themselves sexually in the adult computer area. Neither patrons nor library employees should be forced to suffer with sexual activity of any kind in the OPPL.<br />
<br />
Libraries such as those in Niles and Lemont have successfully eliminated this problem by blocking such sites on public computers.<br />
<br />
A library is a taxpayer-funded facility for education and learning, and not a place for sexual activity of any kind.<br />
<br />
Second, the OPPL should turn back to its mission statement and eliminate its outrageous food and jewelry purchases for staff. Nowhere in the library's charter or mission statement does it state that the OPPL should be using taxpayer money to buy expensive treats or gifts for employees. Yet, the OPPL maintains active purchasing accounts at the Orland Park Bakery and Noral Diamond Jewelers that provide no public benefit and should be immediately closed. It is inexcusable to squander public money on expensive pastries and jewelry store purchases for highly-paid OPPL staffers who can afford to buy their own paczki and crystal bookends.<br />
<br />
Third, the library's trustees need to come clean with the public about why police were not called when their own internal incident report shows that three witnesses reported to library staff that child porn was accessed in the OPPL. The board has admitted that Library Director Mary Weimar did not call the police as she was required to do by their own policy. This is especially troubling, because it appears that Weimar received no disciplinary action for this poor judgment and, in fact, was awarded raises that have brought her compensation package to $189,000 per year. The woman who did not call the police when child porn was accessed in the OPPL is, thus, paid more than Orland Police Chief Tim McCarthy.<br />
<br />
I have a problem with that and believe management and other personnel changes are needed to remedy ongoing safety and spending problems in the OPPL. I urge the two new incoming trustees to take the three steps outlined above as soon as possible.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_jgO2dcA6g/VRN9_psk5FI/AAAAAAAAC4E/epQX3UN5IJc/s1600/sarahinred.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_jgO2dcA6g/VRN9_psk5FI/AAAAAAAAC4E/epQX3UN5IJc/s1600/sarahinred.jpg" height="193" width="320" /></a></div>
Three librarians worked together to lead an effort to smear another with false claims of sexual harassment. Faking sexual harassment claims harms efforts to oppose true sexual harassment as much as faking censorship claims harms efforts to oppose true censorship. These three librarians are known as Team Harpy, and they have hurt opposition to sexual harassment.<br />
<br />
Team Harpy comprises Lisa Rabey (@ByShieldMaiden), Nina de Jesus (@satifice), and, later, Sarah Houghton (The Librarian In Black, @TheLiB) pictured top right. Ms. Houghton became the team treasurer of online collections. "<a href="http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/team-harpy-faq/" target="_blank">Sarah Houghton is running the legal defense fund for the sake of transparency and openness. (link)</a>" I believe she traveled to Canada to speak against Joe Murphy (@LibraryFuture), the victim of the fake, phoney, and fraudulent Team Harpy.<br />
<br />
This kind of fakery harms true efforts to stop sexual harassment. And I'm not the only one saying so:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote>
I would also strongly advise against using this episode to proclaim that sexual harassment is not an issue within ALA. Hopefully we as an organization can constructively address this issue though [sic] better documentation and dialog. - Daniel Cornwall, Alaska Chapter ALA Councilor</blockquote>
</blockquote>
Correct, Mr. Cornwall, and that's why I started Librarians.cc and <a href="http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2015/03/legislation/illinois-internet-screening-in-public-libraries-act-meets-with-opposition/" target="_blank"><i>Library Journal</i> has written about it (link)</a>. I'm trying to build a repository of information.<br />
<br />
Just look how bad this #TeamHarpy debacle is:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I made false and damaging comments about librarian Joe Murphy for which I would like to apologize. .... </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
... I posted tweets that referenced librarian Joe Murphy implying without a basis in fact that he was a sexual predator. These unsubstantiated statements gained wide attention and caused Mr. Murphy significant damage. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My intention in posting these tweets was to draw attention to the issue of sexual harassment of female librarians in the profession. My statements were made carelessly, and were not based on facts. I have never observed Mr. Murphy sexually harass or exhibit sexually predatory behavior. .... </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I was ill prepared for the damaging impact that these unfair statements would have. I wholly retract my statements and unreservedly apologize to Mr. Murphy for the significant damage I have caused to his personal and professional reputation. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I strongly encourage those who aligned with #teamharpy and decided to attack Mr. Murphy to cease to continue to defame or disparage him. ....</blockquote>
That is by Lisa Rabey of Team Harpy. I have to use ellipses since Ms. Rabey successfully forced me to censor out information on sexual harassment <a href="http://www.librarians.cc/2015/01/harassment.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Team Harpy apparently was always interested in themselves, not in stopping the sexual harassment of librarians.<br />
<br />
What a disgrace.<br />
<br />
Where does Joe Murphy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_J._Donovan" target="_blank">go to get his reputation back (link)</a>?<br />
<br />
Even I became a target of Team Harpy's spin machine, e.g.:<br />

<br />
Then the free speech librarians like Ingrid Henny Abrams (@MagpieLibrarian) sent out the message to #TeamHarpy to block me, complete with false claims of homophobia, and almost 100 have, all because I drew parallels to my being sued for defamation for exposing <a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/07/gay-hate-at-your-library.html" target="_blank">Gay Hate @ Your Library (link)</a>:<br />

<br />
And Team Harpy member Sarah Houghton? She is ALA's top Internet filtering expert. She says Internet filters do not work even though everyone knows they work really well now (<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/08/visser.html" target="_blank">link</a>). ALA just published a heavily-promoted report on ten years since CIPA called, "<a href="http://connect.ala.org/files/cipa_report.pdf" target="_blank">Fencing Out Knowledge: Impacts of CIPA 10 Years Later (link)</a>," and how filters do not work, all based on Team Harpy member Sarah Houghton's research, if you look in the footnotes. And now Sarah Houghton is a proven faker. I've always said that report was false as it was based on Sarah Houghton's outdated findings. I could never have imagined the extent of the fakery. And yes, Team Harpy's Sarah Houghton is also helping to fund the defamation suit against me. So while complaining about a supposed SLAPP suit against her Team Harpy members, <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/hzjwy8" target="_blank">Sarah Houghton's funding a SLAPP suit against me (link)</a>.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am trying to help sexually harassed librarians and I am asking people not to be discouraged by Team Harpy's fakery. Please contact me if you need help or if you want to write anonymously here at Librarians.cc. <br />

And I see readers of #GamerGate are interested in what I'm writing. Welcome.<br />

This story has gone international. See:<br />

I commented there as follows:</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Missing from this story is the third member of TeamHarpy, Sarah Houghton, calling herself the "Librarian in Black." Interestingly, the Librarian in Black got involved in this matter to the point of essentially becoming part of TeamHarpy. And we know what happened to TeamHarpy. And the Librarian in Black is the American Library Association’s [ALA] leading expert on library filtering software and she says filters don't work and should not be used. And your local library might not use filters as a direct result of this proven liar's false claims. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This intentional destruction of a man's career over false allegations for a year is in part the Librarian in Black's doing. It was all false. That has got to be very bad for Librarian in Black's credibility. And she's ALA's leading expert saying library filters do not work. That has got to be very bad for ALA's credibility. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
They can spin it all they want but if this were a court of law opposing counsel would tear her to pieces. I know, I've investigated experts myself and they lost all credibility as a result of what I uncovered. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Of course library media will do all they can to ignore how ALA's filtering expert has completely destroyed her credibility. I mean this is a national story now, this TeamHarpy debacle. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What a complete debacle. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When ALA is on your local library, in its anything-goes policy based on ALA's “Library Bill of Rights,” now you know ALA’s top expert supporting the claim that library filters do no work is one of the TeamHarpy liars who destroyed a man’s career. They lied there and they are lying about filters not working when everyone now knows they work well. See “<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/08/visser.html" target="_blank">FCC: Filters Work, Communities Should Decide, Libraries Should Revisit CIPA</a>” http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/08/visser.html </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Don’t let a TeamHarpy liar influence your public library’s following the law by filtering out p0rn, since libraries are for the use and benefit of the community by law, and that precludes p0rn, no matter what ALA and its TeamHarpy liar-expert says. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My opinion, of course. I have to say that so I don't get sued by the self-arrogated free speech police, again. Contact me for help cleaning out the p0rn from your local library.</blockquote>

Librarians are discussing sexual harassment of librarians on Reddit:<br />
<br />

<li>"<a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Libraries/comments/2zdrn9/porn_in_the_public_library_your_thoughts/" target="_blank">Porn In the Public Library - Your Thoughts (link)</a>," by <b>samurailibrarian</b>, <i>Reddit</i>, 17 March 2015, emphasis mine:</li>
</ul>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I am a public librarian and I strictly enforce a no porn policy. My reasoning is that whatever freedom of information rights you have <b>viewing pornography on library computers impacts</b> the other users and <b>staff and creates a hostile space for them</b>. That is why I enforce the no porn rule, for the larger community. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Why did ALA say otherwise and what is the reasoning for this? </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As for liability, I have been throwing out pervs for years, never had a problem with it.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
At this point there are almost 200 comments. Join in!<br />
<br />
Here's my comment:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Two main things going on regarding porn in public libraries. One is state law and the second if the US Supreme Court case of United States v. American Library Association. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Regarding state law, say, Illinois, Illinois state library law requires that Illinois libraries be for the use and benefit of the public. Porn is neither for the use nor benefit of the public. Actually, porn is for misuse and the harm of the public and those sexually trafficked victims depicted therein. Illinois law, therefore, precludes porn from all libraries across Illinois. That libraries like the Chicago Public Library allow unlimited porn, that is a testament to the American Library Association's effectiveness in misleading people into not following or not even being aware of Illinois library law. My saying that is partly why ALA is involved in a SLAPP suit to silence me from saying just that. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Then comes US v. ALA. This 2003 US Supreme Court case ruled that even though porn may be "constitutionally protected material" outside the library, inside the library it is traditionally blocked and may continue to be blocked using Internet filters. It is true that ALA teaches librarians and library trustees that there is a First Amendment right to porn in libraries. That doesn't make it true. There is no such right. It's the exact opposite. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So you are right on for strictly enforcing a no porn policy. Porn has nothing to do with the "freedom of information." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Further, you are absolutely correct that it creates a hostile workspace for librarians. ALA specifically denies that. Naturally, its ALA policy applied locally that promotes the porn that causes the sexual harassment. I'm trying to help sexually harassed librarians with <a href="http://www.librarians.cc/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0079d3; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Librarians.cc</a>. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Now you asked, "Why did ALA say otherwise and what is the reasoning for this?" See "<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2015/01/porn-facilitation-in-public-libraries.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0079d3; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Porn Facilitation in Public Libraries: ALA Guides Librarians to Defy SCOTUS</a>" and "<a href="http://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2014/12/sexual-harassment-of-librarians.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0079d3; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Sexual Harassment of Librarians Never Happens; Child Pornography is Intellectual Freedom</a>." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If you or any other librarian wish a place to speak publicly and anonymously so you don't get fired, please consider contacting me at SafeLibraries.</blockquote>
Here's the response of samurailibrarian: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Seriously Dan, I know who you are and I could not possibly hate you anymore than I already do. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Go fuck yourself. You have no IDEA how much I fucking hate you and your little asshole group. Seriously go fuck yourself in every way imaginable you lying sack of shit.</blockquote>
Sounds like "samurai librarian" is cutting off his nose to spite his face? He/she made comments I couldn't agree with more. But can you imagine a librarian trying to help sexually harassed librarians being able to maintain a job given such statements? This is an example of why sexually harassed librarians fear speaking out. There's no free speech in librarianship.<br />

Here's an interesting question for you to ponder: are libraries in affluent areas (suburbs) more dangerous than libraries in poor areas (disadvantaged urban)?<br />
<br />
One trend I've noticed while researching and auditing the incident reports in Illinois libraries for the last two years is that libraries in affluent areas seem to have more problems with incidents of sexual activity, masturbation, child pornography being accessed, and sexually hostile work environments than libraries that are in poor areas without a lot of money.<br />
<br />
I have formed a theory that goes something like this:<br />
<br />
* Wealthy communities have more funds than they know what to do with, so they pay library management ridiculously large salaries. Example: Orland Park (an affluent southwestern suburb of Chicago) has a library director who makes $189,000/year. That is more than the governor of Illinois is paid. A poor community could never afford to pay a director a salary of $189,000/year. The poor communities have directors who make $60,000/year or so.<br />
<br />
* The directors who command salaries like $189,000/year are likely to be radical leftists who toe the ALA's line. These are typically white women who are Baby Boomers and who believe their real mission as a director is to be involved in the ALA's political agenda to "transform communities by transforming libraries". These radicals only seek the highly paid positions…so libraries offering huge salaries for directors end up with one of these rich, white, radical leftist women as a director.<br />
<br />

<br />
* Poor libraries can't afford one of the rich, white, radical leftist women as a director…and the people who will work for $60,000/year are not people who seem themselves as committed leftists. The people who work for $60,000 can't afford to be so committed to the ALA's political agenda and perhaps they don't see any value to them or their communities to listen to the ALA. There's also a more diverse pool of talent at this level, where the directors are not all white, leftist women. Black library directors exist at the $60,000/year level and it's been my experience that the black and other minority library directors and staff do not tolerate any sexual misconduct or abuse in their libraries. It's only the white, rich, radical leftists who take pride in looking the other way when illegal activity occurs in their libraries. Minority directors DO NOT seem to believe it is part of their mission to allow this garbage to keep happening.<br />
<br />
* The affluent communities end up with directors who feel they prove they are enlightened for looking the other way when illegal activity occurs in their libraries, because they want to be so "enlightened" that they allow sexual activity in their libraries as proof that they are not "judging" the people who are using the library as a place for sex. The poor communities in contrast get directors who don't put up with any of this garbage and instead view the people having sex in libraries and doing other illegal things as a problem they want to stamp out.<br />
<br />

Has anyone else noticed this?<br />
<br />
Do you see how the affluent suburbs acquire radical leftists who want to make some sort of demented point by allowing crimes to be committed, because they feel they prove they are "enlightened" for not wanting to judge the people committing the crimes?<br />
<br />
Do you see how the poorer communities are blessed to have directors who have a zero tolerance for crime in their libraries, since these directors do not have the idle free time and the hubris that comes with sky-high salaries (which alienates the rich, white leftists from reality)?<br />
<br />
My working theory is that the suburbs end up having more instances of child pornography being accessed, masturbation occurring, and sexual activity in their libraries than the poor urban libraries have and this is all a direct result of the suburban libraries hiring the ALA's "cream of the crop" directors.<br />
<br />
Employing ALA acolytes in library management positions has the consequence of creating libraries that allow sex crimes to occur and dangers to children to multiply.<br />
<br />
My suggestion is to keep library director salary at around $60,000/year, then maybe the rich, white, leftists who occupy the $189,000/year positions will no longer want to work in libraries—and the negative influence that these women have on communities will be eliminated.<br />
<br />
Thoughts?<br />
