94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies.
The average Wall Street employee got a $176,500 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.

Black men were among the first cowboys in the U.S. but pop culture erased them from the Western milieu over time, creating misleading iconography of an Old West filled with white men on horseback. Our collections help document a more accurate picture.

I try not to be judgy. But peeling the bar code stickers off your library books before you return them is a lifestyle I have trouble understanding.

A heartfelt thank you to @bookcritics for this incredible honor! ALA's contribution to the rich tapestry of America's book culture wouldn't be possible without the dedication and passion of our members, both past and present. This award truly belongs to each of them.

As America’s libraries have become noisy and sometimes dangerous new battlegrounds in the nation’s culture wars, librarians like Ms. Neujahr and their allies have moved from the stacks to the front lines.

I am once again asking for a TV show where a librarian and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their book collections - discuss their favorites, their histories, their value, then build amazing shelves and book nooks and libraries in their homes to organize them

Since the start of our contract fight, a mayor came and went and a president came and went. No one had heard the word COVID when we started. We have covered these and more, but most haven't had a raise in more than half a decade. We just want fair wages that recognize our work.

RIP to former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
We thank her for her compassion, being an advocate of the voiceless, and tireless work on mental health. Mrs. Carter spoke at @librarycongress in 2010.
Our thoughts are with President Carter and the Carter family.
