ALA President Julius C. Jefferson Jr. writes: “When we started laying the foundation for what would become ‘Holding Space’ nine months ago, I imagined an adventure spanning thousands of miles. We’d rent a bus and take to the open road, crossing the US and visiting libraries along the way. But I’ll be embarking on a different kind of journey now. Rather than a celebration on wheels, ‘Holding Space’ will take place virtually. The intent remains the same: As ALA president, I want to elevate the stories and successes of libraries whose work takes place just out of the spotlight.”
