2026 marks the 150th anniversary of the American Library Association. It's a milestone that invites us to imagine the libraries of tomorrow, to advocate fiercely for open access to knowledge, and to invest in the infrastructure, both digital and human, that makes libraries a foundation of thriving communities. Celebrate, connect, and reflect with us all year at ALA150.org. #ForOurLibraries 08 Jan 2026

Reading shouldn’t be a passive or static exercise—it’s an adventure waiting to be lived. Take your storytimes and youth programming to the next level! Using movement, music, and immersive environments, Camp Read-a-Rama turns storytime into an adventure. In this free Nov. 17 webinar, hear from Dr. Michelle H. Martin, founder and co-director of @campreadarama, to learn how they’ve helped inspire lifelong readers for more than 16 years. Can’t attend live?

November is International Games Month! This month, libraries across the U.S. and around the world are bringing their communities together to read, learn, and play through programming centering games of all kinds.

International Games Month is an initiative of ALA's Games & Gaming Round Table (GameRT). You can learn more about GameRT at games.ala.org, or at the link in our bio. What are you playing this month?

In 1945, ALA purchased the Cyrus Hall McCormick Mansion at 50 East Huron Street in Chicago to use as its new headquarters. However, by 1955, ALA was investigating other options, and by 1960, ALA was not only ready to move out of the mansion but also tear it down. Why would ALA want to move out of the McCormick Mansion so quickly and destroy it? Was it because the mansion was, well, a mansion and not a suitable office space? And they wanted to use the land to build a proper office building that would be their home for over 50 years? Or…was it because the mansion was haunted?

State and local governments are increasingly employing AI to flag books for removal from library collections. In doing so, they rely on machines to make judgments rather than the expertise of the educators and library workers they employ. The prompt given to an AI chatbot shapes the response it generates. When the language of a prompt is grounded in the social, political, or moral tastes of a small group or individual, the result is viewpoint-based censorship. But what if the prompt is used to objectively evaluate whether a book meets the educational needs of students who choose to read it? We debunk the use of AI to censor library collections at the link in our bio. 01 Jan 1970
