What Does the Filtering Mandate Mean for Libraries?

Save the date!

In response to your concerns about Congress' passage of the 
filtering rider on the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations 
bill last week, the Washington Office is scheduling a 
filtering workshop during Midwinter. This workshop will give 
an overview of the new congressional filtering mandate and 
will outline what compliance with the mandate would require. 
Please bring your questions and concerns - we're ready to 
help you understand what the filtering mandate will mean for 
you. 

When: Saturday, January 12th at 11:00 am (immediately 
following the Washington Office Update)
 
Where: Washington Convention Center, Room 29
