<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>The sun peaking out between rain showers reminds us that spring is on the way, so it must be time to start thinking about <b>Choose Privacy Week</b>, celebrated annually the first week of May. This is an opportunity for libraries to provide displays and programming to inform our library communities about privacy issues. Every week seems to bring a new revelation about privacy violations by government or corporations, so this is a great time to highlight this topic.<br>
<br></div>The American Library Association sells <a href="http://www.alastore.ala.org/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=cpw">promotional materials</a> in support of Choose Library Week, and provides resources and information on the <a href="http://chooseprivacyweek.org/">Choose Privacy Week web site.</a><br>
<br></div>Has your library celebrated Choose Privacy Week in the past? Do you have ideas for displays or programming that you can share with other Oregon libraries? The OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee would like to hear about your experiences. Please contact Intellectual Freedom Committee co-chair Garnetta Wilker (<a href="mailto:gkwilker2@gmail.com">gkwilker2@gmail.com</a>) or me if you have ideas to share.<br>
