Thank you Malana and Rebekah! I'll also chime in. Arkansas hasn't passed anti-ALA legislation yet, but is heavily expected to. Due to low salaries, ALA involvement is already difficult for a lot of library workers here. I'm looking at a job posting right now that's offering $15 an hour, bachelor degree ...
