Report Violatons of Laws in Libraries
What is CIPA?
You can find out whether or not your library is participating in the CIPA program by going to the USAC website. This is the company that administers the funds for CIPA.
If you believe that your library is not in compliance with CIPA, but is receiving funds, you should report it immediately through the USAC Whistleblower Hotline.
If you or your child are exposed to obscenity in a library or elsewhere, you should report it at obscenitycrimes.org.
ObscenityCrimes.org was created primarily for citizens who have been unintentionally exposed to pornography or ads for pornography on the Internet or whose children have been exposed to pornography or ads for pornography on the Internet.
Child pornography is prohibited under both federal and state laws with some state laws including more or less restrictive definitions compared with federal law.
