Thank you for that information. Knowledge is powerful. The following article
re the measures that the Santa Cruz Public Library has taken in response to
the USA Patriot Act should prove interesting, I feel.

Other CA public libraries are considering following suit. The two situations
(i.e., the lawyer in a mall in NY & the public library's response to the
Patriot Act) are not directly related, but I believe that both provide
cautionary tales. Peace.
