On March 1, the American Library Association (ALA) released a statement in support of the Ukrainian library community. “ALA and its divisions support our Ukrainian colleagues and will work with the global library community to answer the appeal from the Ukrainian Library Association to provide accurate information as a means to support democracy and freedom of expression,” the statement reads. “ALA has adopted into its policies Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states, ‘Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers.’”
