[Libs-Or] Privacy-focused professional development

[Ellie Avis]

Applications are open now for Library Freedom Institute, a one-of-a kind privacy-focused four-month program for librarians. LFI teaches librarians the necessary skills to thrive as Privacy Advocates; from educating community members to influencing public policy. At the close of the course, participants become part of the Library Freedom Project community, and continue doing privacy work with an incredible group of peers.



LFI is free of cost, a five-hour commitment per week (including 1-2 hours in real time), and mostly online with one in-person weekend component. More information and the application is here:

https://libraryfreedom.org/index.php/lfi/. Application deadline is February 10, 2020. The next cohort begins in March 2020.



If you have an interest in digital privacy for your library, your patrons, or yourself, this is an incredible opportunity! If you have questions about the program, feel free to contact me directly. I'd be happy to chat about it!
