ASSOCIATION OF LIBRARY PROFESSIONALS
Help advance, promote, and defend the values upon which librarianship and modern enlightened civilization stand - institutional neutrality, open inquiry, individual liberty, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and intellectual freedom.
Dear Library Professional,
We are excited to extend an exclusive invitation to you to become a charter member of the Association of Library Professionals (ALP), an organization dedicated to upholding the core principles that underpin librarianship and the pivotal role libraries play in our diverse, pluralistic, and democratic societies.
Our mission as an association is firmly rooted in the enduring values of institutional neutrality, open inquiry, individual liberty, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and intellectual freedom, and in supporting the ability of library workers to serve the needs of individual library users and their communities, rather than in advancing specific political agendas.
The ALP is committed to promoting neutrality regarding values, stakeholders, processes, and goals (i.e., those of individual users) and ensuring that libraries remain sources of balanced and diverse information access for all users. …Read More
