ALA is heartbroken at the passing of country music legend and literacy champion Dolly Parton. Her Imagination Library initiative, inspired by her father's inability to read or write, has put millions of books into children's hands and was considered by her to be among her greatest achievements.

Information Literacy means examining not just what research claims, but who produces it, where it's published and how it's framed. References to groups imply neutrality and colour-blindness, but they can surreptitiously legitimise race science. #IOEIDL #InfoLit #PsychHist #HistEd

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it! Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections. Use it or lose it!

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

More from ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl: "By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially." Read our full statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/03... Take action: ala.org/showup
White House "cutting off opportunity" for Americans as administration cuts IMLS staff. American Library Association, Show Up for Our Libraries.“Whether on a campus, in the neighborhood, on a military base or elsewhere, libraries mean opportunity for everyone in our communities. By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially.  
 
“Congress created IMLS by law, with bipartisan support. Republican and Democratic Presidents signed those laws, including President Trump in 2018. Any significant reductions to the IMLS’ small and talented workforce would undermine the agency’s ability to carry out that law.  
 
“To the dedicated staff of IMLS, you have the full support of ALA. We thank you for your service to America’s libraries. We are exploring all possible policy and legal responses to this order, and we promise to mobilize library supporters nationwide to return you to the vital work entrusted to you."

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
