In response to the results of the 2024 US election, ALA vowed to continue its defense of the core values of librarianship in the face of political threats.
“We know that many of our members are concerned that the election results portend attacks on libraries, library workers, and readers,” said ALA President Cindy Hohl. “Whatever happens, ALA will stand up for all Americans’ freedom to read—and we will need everyone who loves libraries to stand with us.”
