Can libraries share information about which patrons have overdue accounts with other libraries?
• A library can disclose personal information about an individual to another library to assist them to collect a debt owed to the other library by that individual (section 40(1)(k)). • A library cannot disclose to another library a list of all individuals owing fines to their library, as this would not be an authorized disclosure.
