In order to provide an up-to-date picture of the Association, it also includes information on major initiatives and, where available, updated data through spring 2019. MISSION The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. MEMBERSHIP ALA has more than 57,000 members, including librarians, library workers, library trustees, and other interested people from every state and many nations. The Association services public, state, school, and academic libraries, as well as special libraries for people working in government, commerce and industry, the arts, and the armed services, or in hospitals, prisons, and other institutions. Dear Friends, You made 2018 a wonderful year for libraries. Successes— including the increase in federal funding after the threatened elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the launch of ALA’s Policy Corps, and the creation of the State Ecosystem Initiative—were all achieved because of you and your commitment to the profession of librarianship. In this Impact Report, you will find highlights from 2018, including what is being done around ALA’s Strategic Directions: • Advocacy • Information Policy • Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion • Professional & Leadership Development You will also find membership statistics, updates about our groundbreaking public awareness campaign Libraries Transform, financial highlights, and where ALA’s Disaster Relief Fund has helped libraries in need. You might have noticed that we have renamed our Annual Report.

  • ALA Responds to Financial Shortfall Doubling Down on Strategic Library
    Executive Board issues statement on ALA’s finances. American Library Association • February 14, 2020 For daily ALA and library news, check the American Libraries website or subscribe to our RSS feed. ALA responds to financial shortfall On February 14, ALA President Wanda Kay Brown and the Association’s 13-member Executive Board released a statement in response to financial shortfalls in the operating budget for the current fiscal year that were first brought to light at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia. It reads, in part: “FY2016–FY2019 had unplanned deficits in addition to the strategic investment areas. The unplanned deficits fall primarily into two categories: underperformance by ALA’s three primary revenue streams and overspending in several areas, with the greatest [overspend] in IT. The result is a financial situation that is impacting all areas of ALA.”... AL: The Scoop, Feb. 14; ALA Communications and Marketing Office, Feb. 14 Doubling down on strategic library advocacy Emily Wagner writes: “ALA invited more than 70 librarians and library supporters from key congressional districts to Washington, D.C., for its annual congressional fly-in—a two-day event focused on training and strategic meetings with members of Congress, held February 10–11. This year, the fly-in aligned with the release of the White House budget proposal for FY2021, which—for a fourth consecutive year—lays out the closure of IMLS. ALA’s incoming Executive Director Tracie D. Hall (right) opened the day by discussing library advocacy and ALA’s unique position in the nation’s capital.”... AL: The Scoop, Jan. 15, Feb.
