Washington County Library System Volume 21 May 2012 Choose Privacy Week ~ May 1-7, 2012 The American Library Association’s (ALA) Office for Intellec- tual Freedom established Choose Privacy Week in 2010 to help libraries work with their communities to navigate these complicated issues. Privacy has long been a cornerstone of library services in America and a freedom that librarians defend every day. Librarians have a long history of protecting the rights of people to read, learn and be curious – including the freedom to read and receive ideas anonymously. This makes libraries ideal places for people to think and talk about privacy today. Individuals of all ages share concerns about how their personal information can be used and abused, both online and off – and they are looking for help to understand the issues and make decisions for themselves and their families. Washington County Library System is dedicated to protect- ing their patrons privacy. Part of the measure taken to promote and protect your privacy as a library patron is the non-transferability policy, which insures that your card number and the information on your patron account can not be shared with any other third party. This protects you from identity theft, and insures that only you can access your account. Now in its third year, Choose Privacy Week takes place May 1-7, 2012 and invites all library users of all ages and back- grounds into a conversation about privacy rights in the digital age.

May Green Tip One simple way to increase your gas mileage is by checking your tire pressure. More than a quarter of all cars and nearly one-third of all SUVs, vans, and pickups have under in�ated tires, according to a survey by the Department of Transportation. If every American kept his or her tires properly in�ated, we could save 2.8 billion gallons of gasoline a year - and help curb pollution from greenhouse gasses - so check the pressure on your tires every month, and in�ate the tires on your car or truck if the pressure is below standard requirements. This will extend the life of your tire, and increase your gas mileage as well. Not sure how much pressure should be in your tires? On newer cars, the recommended pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver’s door. If there’s no sticker on the door, you can usually �nd the specs in the owner’s manual. Most passenger cars will recommend 32 to 35 psi in the tires when they’re cold. The reason you check them cold is that as tires roll along the road, friction between them and the road generates heat, increasing tire pressure. For the most consistent tire-pressure reading, make sure the car has been sitting overnight, or at least has been parked for a few hours. Take care not to overin�ate your tires. Over-in�ating your tires will give you a bouncy ride and an ill-handling car, while under-in�ated tires can develop premature wear from increased friction. Either way, not having your tires at their recommended pressure will negatively a�ect tire wear and vehicle performance
