The American Libraries Special Report: The Legacy of 9/11 provides timely resources as we prepare to mark the 20^th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Stories in the special report include:

• a look back at the 21 libraries destroyed in the World Trade Center and the documentation activities that followed this immense cultural loss
• recollections from librarians who countered post–September 11 ignorance and bigotry with programs and information about Islam and the Middle East
• a profile on the public library of Gander, Newfoundland—a small Canadian town that found itself in the spotlight when 6,500 travelers were diverted there after the attacks
• an overview of two archives preserving the broadcasts and digital ephemera of September 11
• an interview about privacy and surveillance with the Connecticut Four, the four librarians who challenged the Patriot Act and government overreach that followed the attacks.
