I worked there in 2007, and a lil bit of 2008. Unless anything changed since then, and to be fair it might have, but I think I'd have heard it. But there's underhanded stuff passed as we sleep and it's not reported to much upon. Just be sure to double check with your state laws. It could be different from state to state, and city to city, but this was a Statewide thing in Michigan, and figured it could be a trap, that the head librarians sent info regularly. But I trust nobody, Flint and Detroit tried in vain to get attention to our problem without rioting, the feds ignored us for about 2 yrs. I doubt it's a trap as serious as she got. She worried mainly because many of the patrons came there to check emails and that. We don't know what you look at, and I made it a point of not knowing by not nosing through the cache ever. Most librarians I talked to also took it seriously. It made us all feel important that we could keep it private and even without perjury to worry about, say we don't know what was looked at. We don't look. I hope they still do have this policy, because many more could look into it without fear of family talking you down for it.
