Don’t tell the librarian about your crime and they won’t rat you out.
- leoh 3y agoYou have got this completely wrong. Librarians tend to uphold exceptionally high standards of privacy. https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations/privacy https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpre... Not to mention the fact that, well, a library kiosk is anonymous, many libraries don’t have cameras, and there is no ledger that records who walks to which bookshelf and reads which page of any given book.

- esoterica 3y agoEveryone except you, your spouse and your attorney can be compelled to testify against you. The court doesn’t care about your “librarian code of ethics” lmao.
