Vermont House passes library patron confidentiality bill

Tuesday morning, April 29, the House voted to concur with the Senate-passed version of the library patron confidentiality bill (S. 220). Now it goes to the governor for his signature before becoming law. Please call or write your representatives and thank them for their support on this measure. Also, a big thanks to John Shullenberger for all his efforts on our behalf.

URGENT–Please call/e-mail your Vermont representatives (in the House) today. . .

. . .and urge them to vote in favor of S. 220, the bill to protect the confidentiality of library patrons records.  Please ask them to support the bill as voted by the House Judiciary Committee.  You might indicate that this bill will codify our professional code of ethics and make it clear to all Vermonters that their library records are confidential, and is much like laws in more than 40 other states.
