Have there been any challenges to intellectual freedom at your library this
past year (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020)? If so, please report
<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/oifc/report> them *by July 31st*.



Challenges may include any of the following:

   - *Materials* challenge (books, movies, music, magazines, digital
   content)
   - *Internet-related* challenge (filtering issues, access to computers,
   use policies)
   - *Library service* (meeting rooms, programs, authors visits, exhibits,
   displays, hold shelf practices)
   - *Patron privacy* or confidentiality (personally identifiable
   information, circulation records)
   - *Hate crime* (defacement of library property to target a specific
   group; use of swastikas or other symbols of intimidation, harassment, or
   assault on library property)
   - *Other* (student publications or performances, access to libraries or
   library cards, social media, artwork, "First Amendment Audit")



Unsure about whether something rises to the level of being worth reporting?
Report it anyway. The more information we have, the better picture we can
paint about the intellectual freedom landscape in Oregon.



Questions? Please contact me!

-Tamara
