I agree with this 100%. Half the point of creating Noisetor was to
educate people and teach that you don't need to be afraid of setting up
exit nodes (that are configured properly). I imagine they would also
feel at ease to learn that at least one legal nonprofit in the US has
sponsored a Tor node.
Given that this is the last line of the article, I'm sure knowing they
are part of a bigger community would help:
“There are other libraries that I’ve heard that are interested in
participating but nobody else wanted to be first,” he said. “We’re
lonesome right now.”
One thing that comes to mind: the people who set it up might not be
technical, and they might not realize there are ways to set these nodes
up that protect you against these kinds of visits.

Perhaps we can actually get in contact with them and weigh in here as long-term exit node operators who have also had visits from the feds, we can give them some meaningful input. Like how often this happens, what to do when it happens, reasons why exit nodes are so important despite the attention they garnet from law enforcement, etc. It may make a difference when it comes time for that meeting.
