I think, in this case, it may not be a trust issue. It sounds like
fall-out from the Patriot Act. Some libraries and library systems have
made the decision not to release information about what people are
reading. What some have done, among other things, is turn off patron
history.

While the discussion of whether that is good or bad can likely wait for
another day, this is an issue that all library folks should address.
