National media report that the FBI has recently visited more than 80 libraries. The new USA/PATRIOT Act requires librarians and booksellers to provide the FBI with information on the reading habits of their patrons. It also prohibits them from telling anyone that this information is being demanded.

This is not a new kind of fight for JUDITH KRUG. Since 1967 she has been director of the Office of Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association. She also serves on the Boards of Directors of the Fund for Free Expression and of the Council of Library Magazines and Presses, and is president of the Chicago Area Phi Beta Kappa. She has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Illinois ACLU and the American Bar Association's Commission on Public Understanding of the Law.

All proceeds from this fundraising event go to the Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights, which has been in the lead in the Chicago area and nationally for 42 years in the struggle against government attacks on First Amendment and due process freedoms.
