>Librarians are more often rabidly pro-privacy and pro-anonymity than not. They're often very well read, well educated, and know their history.

Few librarians are involved in network operations at the library though. I'm just speaking from my experience here in Sweden but that stuff is usually handled by a local IT department or out sourced to a company.

So the danger would be in having a federal oversight on network operations of libraries. I do not believe we have that in Sweden at least. Probably the US government allow libraries to manage themselves on that front too.

>Unless you have information that I do not (if you do, please link to it) control of a single exit node gives you no more power than your ISP already has over you. What attacks were you thinking of? Keep in mind that Tor explicitly does not protect against:

Exit nodes, as in plural.

So hypothetically if the federal government did manage network operations for libraries in the US, and the Tor network was successful in onboarding many libraries in this project, that could mean massive control of Tor exit nodes.
