Libraries across the country need our support. Uncertainty around federal funding weighs on us all, but this summer we’ve seen many moments of hope—and we want to share that inspiration with you!

I’d like to invite you to our next free virtual event on Tuesday, September 9 at 5 PM ET / 4 PM CT / 3 PM MT / 2 PM PT, where ALA policy experts and special guests will share updates, inspiring stories, and how you can pitch in at the start of this school year.

At this free event, you’ll find information you need and actions you can take to lift up libraries this fall and in the future. Our goal is to give you updates on the latest fights to defend library funding, and then, through a lively conversation with our special guests, show you how best to turn your Congressmembers from passive library supporters (or objectors) into true library champions.
