Defend Libraries Against Censorship

Since early 2023, several Alabama libraries have faced censorship attacks, with many fights escalating into local battles over library funding and autonomy. 

The war has now moved to the state level as elected officials threaten to cut Alabama libraries funding or criminalize ordinary library practices. 

Alabama Library Association is committed to stand with Alabama librarians and other dedicated partners to resist these attempts. 

But we need help from all those who support constitutional principles, champion the rights of all Alabama parents, and believe the publicly-funded libraries should reflect all Alabama taxpayers. 

If that is you, please use this section to learn how you can help the Alabama Library Association to fight back against extremism and censorship.
