Under the USA PATRIOT Act, federal agents can gain access to your bookstore, library, and publisher records even if you are not suspected of involvement in terrorism or any criminal activity — and you will never hear a word about it.

The Campaign for Reader Privacy is a joint initiative of the American Library Assocation, the American Booksellers Association, the Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center.
