[Libs-Or] Library Freedom Institute open for applications!

[Ellie Avis]

Hi all,

After a short hiatus, Library Freedom Project's privacy and intellectual
freedom training for library workers is now open for applications! I had
the privilege of attending this training several years ago and can highly
recommend the quality of the content as well as the experience of
connecting with a cohort (and wider network) of highly engaged library
workers around the country.

Library Freedom Institute covers a wide range of highly relevant and
engaging subjects in the privacy, intellectual freedom, and critical
technology realm. The 2026 Institute will take place over 15 weeks
(starting in late January), consisting of a two-hour virtual meeting every
week, as well as an in-person weekend component. Participants will also
spend time each week working on readings and group discussion. After LFI
has completed, participants are invited to join the LFP community of
practice, a one-of-a-kind space for library workers to continue
collaborating in a supportive environment.

Application questions, requirements, and FAQ are available here:
https://libraryfreedom.org/institute/

Applications are due December 10, please email institute at libraryfreedom.org
with any questions. I am also happy to answer questions about my experience
with the training.

LFI is made possible in part through generous support from the Mellon
Foundation, the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment, and
the Calyx Institute.
