Library Freedom Institute (LFI) is LFPs training arm, offering educational opportunities for librarians, ongoing community-building, workshops, webinars, and committee work around specialized topics and sectors of librarianship.

"[6] By 2022, the Library Freedom Project built on its funding base by securing $1 million dollars from the Mellon Foundation under its Public Knowledge Program.

Working with American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) affiliates across the United States, Library Freedom Project provides workshops to educate librarians about "some of the major surveillance programs and authorizations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, PRISM, XKEYSCORE, and more, connecting the NSA’s dragnet with FBI and local police surveillance".

[9] They also discuss current and developing privacy law on both the federal and state levels, in addition to advising librarians how to handle issues like gag orders and National Security Letters.

Other topics covered include Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) that might help library patrons browse anonymously or evade online tracking.

[10] Library patrons, including but not limited to domestic violence survivors, political activists, whistle blowers, journalists, and LGBTQ teens or adults, require different approaches to privacy.

"[11] Library Freedom Project is a member of the torservers.net network, an organization of nonprofits which specializes in the general establishment of exit nodes via workshops and donations.

[15][16][17] After an outpouring of support from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Massachusetts and New Hampshire affiliates of the ACLU, the Tor Project itself, an editorial in the local paper Valley News strongly in favor of the pilot project,[18] and virtually unanimous public testimony, the library board of trustees decided on 15 September 2015 to renew the anonymity service, letting stand its previous unanimous vote to establish the middle relay.
