In partnership with the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the Coy Public Library of Shippensburg, and the Cleve J. Fredricksen Library, the Northland Public Library and the Free Library of Philadelphia presents Is My Data Private?: A 'Hear Me Out' Dialogue

Participants will have the opportunity to connect with fellow Pennsylvanians to discuss the impacts of our social media engagement and online habits on the privacy of our data and the steps you can take at a personal and community level to protect your data. Topics of discussion will include the ways that our data is used in daily life, navigating the online terrain of social media, and weighing technological innovation with personal privacy.

'Hear Me Out' is a digital facilitated dialogue series that connects Pennsylvanians to each other through brave and authentic conversations. Hear Me Out provides a platform that encourages collaborative exploration and genuine interaction about national and local issues that cut across partisan lines.

In partnership with libraries across the state, patrons from Philadelphia and partner libraries will join together in regular dialogues that focus on sharing life experiences on urgent public questions. Dialogue creates a space for individuals to allow themselves to be changed through engaging with new experiences, ideas, and people, without pressuring participants to change or persuade others. The role of Hear Me Out's Dialogue Series is to cultivate a space in which participants gain new understandings and connections based on the experience of others.
