American Libraries editors take a look back at the news that affected librarianship in 2023. It was another record year for book challenges, but libraries, politicians, and advocates found new ways to resist. Authors pushed back on artificial intelligence; ALA approved new standards for library services for incarcerated people; ALA Executive Director Tracie D. Hall resigned in early October; and private equity firm KKR—which owns OverDrive—acquired Simon & Schuster. Through it all, libraries and library workers remained steadfast in their support of patron needs.
