The date for next month's "Lawyers for Libraries" Training Institute in
Los Angeles has been moved to February 27, 2009. The previously
announced date was February 20.

To register for the Lawyers for Libraries training, or for additional
information, visit www.ala.org/lawyers or contact Jonathan Kelley at

one and $745 for two people attending together (e.g. an attorney with
his or her library director).

The Lawyers for Libraries Institute is primarily intended to equip
attorneys with tools they need to effectively defend the First Amendment
in libraries. Participants will be instructed by practicing attorneys
specializing in First Amendment law and will be eligible for continuing
legal education (CLE) credits for their participation.

Among the topics to be covered during the institute are:

*	Privacy, law enforcement requests for records, and the USA
PATRIOT Act
*	Public forum analysis and libraries, including developing
meeting room and display case policies
*	Internet filtering and the ongoing repercussions of the Supreme
Court's CIPA decision
*	How to respond to attempts to censor books and other library
materials

In addition, a panel of librarians will discuss their real-world
experiences with creating and enforcing library policies.

Lawyers for Libraries workshops are open to licensed, practicing
attorneys retained to represent or advise libraries on legal issues.
Library trustees or board members who are responsible for establishing
library policy may also attend. Librarians may attend if they are
accompanied by a library attorney.
The training is from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the Westin Los Angeles Airport,
5400 West Century Blvd. Lodging is available at the hotel at just $139
per night.
