Donate to ALLA NowALLA's Statement Against Censorship AttemptsFrom the PresidentFellow Librarians, Library Staff Members, and Library Friends,It is with great pleasure and a profound sense of honor that I stand before you today as the newly elected President of the Alabama Library Association. My name is Craig Scott, and I have dedicated 47 years of my life to the noble profession of librarianship. Hailing from the heart of Alabama, I have served as the Library Director in Gadsden, Alabama, a role that has allowed me to witness firsthand the transformative power of libraries within our communities. Throughout my career, I have seen libraries evolve from quiet repositories of knowledge to dynamic hubs of innovation, education, and social engagement. I am deeply committed to the core values that libraries represent: equal access to information, intellectual freedom, and lifelong learning. These principles have guided my work, shaping every decision I have made in service to my community and our profession. As President of the Alabama Library Association, I am eager to collaborate with each of you in advancing our shared mission. Together, we will champion the vital role that libraries play in fostering literacy, promoting inclusivity, and strengthening the fabric of our society. I am honored to embark on this journey with you, and I look forward to the incredible opportunities that lie ahead as we work together to empower individuals, enrich communities, and ensure a vibrant future for libraries across our great state. Thank you for the outstanding services you provide to patrons each and every day.
