The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984.
Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

What a difference a year makes!
My first academic year as a member of the faculty of the University of Maryland is in the books. This time last year, I found myself graduating from UMD's College of Information, not knowing what to expect.

I am excited to announce my candidacy for Councilor-at-Large with the American Library Association (ALA)! My journey from an entry-level library technician to a professional librarian has given me a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of library services.
