Hello Affiliate leaders,
ALA recently issued FAQs on relationships with EveryLibrary and other 501( c) (4) organizations to answer questions relevant to our 501 (c ) (4) tax status. Their status means as a charitable organization ALA cannot include links to/from EveryLibrary’s website or distribute their announcements through ALA communication channels. ALA, its officers, and staff cannot “endorse” EveryLibrary or otherwise allow its name to be used by EveryLibrary for promotion, fundraising, or any other purpose.
As many school library organizations may also find this pertinent information for your operations, I am sharing this and the additional information in the attached FAQs with the AASL affiliates. ALA Chapters also received this information and you may want to consult with them if your affiliate is part of an ALA Chapter.
Regards,
Sylvia
