The Openly Radicalized American Library Association
Background
The American Library Association (ALA) was founded during the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. It is the oldest and largest library association in the world and is publicly funded. Its stated mission 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.”
The ALA has pursued that mission by opening libraries and working to increase access to books for children, military personnel at home and abroad, and African Americans. Its first children’s story hour was initiated in 1882.
