My #ALA (American Library Association) membership is up for renewal. I know they are doing good work to fight for libraries in the United States, a noble and good cause for sure. I’m just not feeling like sending my #Canadian funds to an “American” organization. At this late stage in my career I’m questioning the ALAs hegemony in Canadian librarianship (eg ALA accredited library program). #CILIP anyone?

ArchimagTrump élimine l’agence dédiée au financement des bibliothèques et musées, qu'il juge « inutile »L'American Library Association (ALA), principale organisation professionnelle des bibliothécaires aux États-Unis, s'oppose fermement à cette décision du président Donald Trump, qui met en péril le financement des 125 000 bibliothèques du pays.

My ALA renewal is up. I wonder if law librarians usually belong to both ALA and AALL. While I do focus more on AALL, ALA's member workshops have been educational. Paying for both is not cheap, and I'd like to conserve my professional development fund because AALL conferences are unusually expensive for a library conference.

from the American Library Association:

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.

The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.

Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.

"As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries of all types translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used in more than 1.2 billion in-person patron visits every year, and many more virtual visits." ala.org/news/2025/03/ala-state
