About me
Since 1876 the American Library Association has championed access to information, defended free speech, & upheld the power of libraries to transform lives & strengthen democracy.
In 2026, we mark 150 years of standing up for libraries—and everything they make possible. This milestone isn’t just about looking back. It’s about rallying together to protect what matters now, and to imagine the libraries we’ll need for the next 150 years. Join us to reflect, connect, and act.
