DESCRIPTION:The Board of Library Trustees is putting on a "Community" Forum on Radio 
 Frequency Tracking Devices. However they have made very little attempt to 
 have the public know anything about what is going on at all.  Regular 
 library users and Berkeley residents are organizing to let the community 
 know what is going on and to have this RFID taken out of our libraries. We 
 want the contract cancelled with Checkpoint Systems.  This new technology 
 is not only very expensive and bought on a loan through our city 
 government! that will have a high interest rate on top of the $650,000 
 initial cost, but will have high maintenance costs as well. It is a very 
 new and almost untried technology that is replacing a much less invasive 
 technology that was already in place.  The time is not yet confirmed, but I 
 will update this notice when it is!  Please show up and learn what we are 
 up against and what we can do about it.  \n
