It's absolutely mind boggling to me that we face the greatest threat to all American libraries that we have EVER faced and the person we save money on is the Director of the Office of INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM. This is absolutely absurd. Many, many of us out here in public library land already strongly believe ...

The day before Thanksgiving? That's not great timing :(

I greatly appreciate any efforts to record future meetings. There are many many people who absolutely cannot ever participate live. We shouldn't be excluded. -- Deborah L.

As it appears that many are unaware, those of us struggling to stay alive in public libraries in Red states have been increasingly disengaged from the ALA. Many, many public libraries and state libraries have been barred from organizational ALA membership. Being from one of these public libraries, I ...

RE: SRRT as the "radical caucus" of ALA -- re-envisioning SRRT

THANK YOU, IAN! Words like radical and leftist are precisely why our board has forced us to disengage from ALA completely as a system. We can buy our own membership but we cannot do anything ALA related during work hours and we cannot be reimbursed for any ALA membership, courses, or conferences. ...

I understand your question but I don't believe that I've ever seen us encouraged to print out flyers or brochures or leaflets to hand out to our patrons with one sided position statements. I might absolutely be wrong and please correct me if I am. Again, my problem isn't that I agree or disagree with ...

Thank you, Derek, for your polite response. In communities like ours, the ALA has been defined by the last 2 years of controversy. The perceived notion that ALA is simply a (insert label here - "woke", "Marxist", "Leftist") institution has led to a very negative backlash to our public libraries. For ...

I am absolutely flabbergasted. It is so interesting to me (out here in suburban South Carolina) how wholly inappropriate this would be for us. These are not fact based guides for finding accurate information about different perspectives on hot topics. Rather, in most of the US, these would be inflammatory ...

I could not agree more with Mr. Gorman. A ridiculous exercise at this time in our history. ------------------------------ Deborah Corbin Branch Assistant York County Library ------------------------------
