Help libraries win in 2026
Support for libraries and the freedom to read is under attack. But the American Library Association is fighting back — and winning.
Since 1945, the American Library Association’s Public Policy and Advocacy Office has been the voice for libraries in Washington, D.C. With your support, we’ll keep fighting for libraries in 2026 and years to come.
Your donation will help pay for ALA's advocacy in Congress and in court, as well as our efforts to train and mobilize library advocates across the country.
Multiply the impact of your advocacy by supporting ALA with your gift today — because now is the moment to show up for our libraries.
