FOR THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES
There’s still time in 2025 to support libraries. Whether making a gift, championing the library in your community, or spreading the message about the impact of libraries, you help libraries thrive.
Your support ensures that libraries can continue to rise to the moment. Even with funding cuts, increasing attempts to ban and restrict books, and growing pressure on staff, libraries remain trusted places of learning and connection. Your generosity helps make that possible.
What does your donation do? You help a neighbor gain skills to start a business. You help a child discover themselves through books and programs. And you help keep libraries strong, open, and free for everyone.
We’re so glad you’re here. Join us as a Supporter of the American Library Association — because there’s never been a more important time to stand up for libraries.
