3 ADVOCACY AND INFORMATION POLICY

ALA’S ADVOCACY WINS

ALA’s Public Policy and Advocacy Office in Washington, D.C., works to advance legislation and regulatory issues critical to libraries, including topics as wide ranging as federal funding, net neutrality, E-rate, copyright, and digital lending. Thanks to the efforts of thousands of library advocates nationwide, 2019 was filled with hard-fought victories for library legislation.

Highlights of accomplishments:

• Secured a $10 million increase for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, including $6.2 million for the Library Services and Technology Act—the largest increase in LSTA funding in 12 years.

• Protected the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program from elimination, safeguarding $27 million in funding for school libraries.

• Supported legislation for broadband development in rural ALA President Wanda America and in Tribal lands. Brown with IMLS Director Crosby Kemper • Urged the protection of a free and open internet.

4 | ALA IMPACT REPORT 2019 ADVOCACY AND INFORMATION POLICY

FIGHTING FOR #eBOOKSFORALL

When Macmillan Publishers announced a new policy permitting libraries to purchase only one copy of a new eBook title for the first eight weeks after a book’s release, ALA mobilized a national campaign opposing the embargo. Advocacy efforts included the #eBooksforAll online petition to send Macmillan Publishers a strong message: access to library eBooks should not be delayed or denied. As a result, ALA delivered more than 160,000 signatures to Macmillan CEO John Sargent. ALA continues the fight for #eBooksforAll by negotiations with publishers and through its work on Capitol Hill. Boxes of signatures being delivered to the Macmillan offices UPDATE: In March 2020, Macmillan canceled the embargo on sales of new titles to libraries and returned to the lending policy that was in effect on Oct. 31, 2019.

EVERYONE COUNTS: 2020 CENSUS

ALA prepared libraries across the country for the 2020 Census to help achieve a fair, accurate, and inclusive count. ALA teamed with the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality to develop the Libraries’ Guide to the 2020 Census, a new resource to support libraries in their work. The Guide includes details on the new online response option, a list of frequently asked questions, and a timeline of key dates. In addition, ALA provided tip sheets, webinars, and other resources for libraries on specialized topics, from securing funding for outreach to assisting hard-to-count groups.

5 EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION

When equity, diversity, and inclusion intersect with social justice, ALA’s Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services (ODLOS) provides leadership, education, and consultation. By facilitating conversations around access and identity, ODLOS strives to create an association that decenters power and privilege, incorporates social justice as a process in everybody’s everyday work, and develops resources for the profession to advance racial equity.

ALA has initiatives, programs, and member groups committed to supporting individuals discriminated against based on: • gender or sexual identities and expressions 35 • age NUMBER OF ALA • religion MEMBER WORKING • disability status GROUPS COMMITTED • nationality and language TO ADVANCING EDI

We are also committed to supporting people who are new or non- readers; geographically isolated; experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty; and refugees, immigrants, and displaced persons. We measure our impact through a racial equity lens. By acknowledging race and racism, we address interconnected systems of oppression so that we can achieve greater unity and equity across all communities.

CRITICAL EFFORTS TO RAPIDLY DIVERSE FIELD

In 2018, just 6.8 percent of librarians identified as Black or African American, 8.6 percent as Hispanic or Latino, and 4.6 percent as Asian-American or Pacific Islander.

The Spectrum Scholarship Program has funded more than 1,800 master’s degree students and 18 doctoral fellowships since its inception. Thanks to donors like you, this year the Spectrum Scholarship Program helped 60 students pursue their goal of a master’s degree in library and information science. Spectrum focuses this large and life-long network on providing mutual support and advancing social justice within the profession.

Spectrum is ALA’s longest running and highest impact recruitment initiative, and as such it has informed and demanded that our recruitment efforts be paired with retention initiatives, continuing education opportunities to advance the profession’s understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and coalition building with organizations advancing social justice in library and information science.

20 | ALA IMPACT REPORT 2019 FAREWELL

After 25 years on ALA’s staff, I said goodbye at the end of June.Over the past few months, many people have asked me what I would miss. My answer has been consistent: the people, the people, the people. Staff, members, and colleagues in a complex world knitted together by hours spent in meetings, inquiries made and answered, social media stories shared, book recommendations exchanged, projects planned and executed, commitments made and kept.

There has been change—so much change. Since completing an MLS at UCLA in 1965, the outward nature of librarianship has changed almost beyond recognition in some areas, yet the inner nature has stayed fundamentally consistent. It has matured in awareness regarding the MARY GHIKAS essential relationship between the library and the community and each individual in that community, and in awareness of the demand for equity and respect at the heart of libraries and librarianship.

One of the special pleasures looking back over the past two and a half decades has been seeing the succession of commitments made by individuals, foundations, and corporations to the Association, and through the Association to libraries and the people they serve. Gifts have been given to increase equitable access to information technology; to develop skills ranging from coding to advocacy to cultural awareness; to recruit a more diverse workforce for both libraries and the academy through the expansive Spectrum Initiative; and, to sustain the critical work of the American Library Association in supporting libraries and librarianship by advocating for libraries, their funding, and the legal framework in which they—and we—can prosper. Thank you.

Thank you all for your past—and future—support of the Association and its mission. Some of you have been friends and colleagues for decades. Some of you I had the pleasure of meeting what feels like only a moment ago. Some of you I may, sadly, never meet, but still we are joined together in our commitment to the profession, to libraries, to the individuals and communities that are changed and made better by the work of libraries and library people.

Besides reading, one of the pleasures of my life has been gardening. Over the past week, I have been reading British author Penelope Lively’s memoir Dancing Fish and Ammonites (Viking, 2013). A reader and a gardener, Lively writes “And that was—is—the miraculous power of gardening: it evokes tomorrow, it is eternally forward-looking, it invites plans and ambitions, creativity, expectation . . . Gardening defies time; you labor today in the interests of tomorrow; you think in seasons to come, cutting down the border this autumn but with next spring in your mind’s eye.” I think of the discipline of putting just a few more daffodil bulbs in the ground each fall as an essential, necessary calling forth of the coming spring. In much the same way, I think of my annual gift to ALA as an investment in our shared future. So, thank you, each of you, for your commitment to the Association, its mission, and the institutions and individuals served by that mission.
