Navigating Neutrality

August 8, 2025 (online)

Our annual summit, open to members and non-members, offers a full day of programming exploring what it means for libraries – of all types – to live up to neutrality, one of the core values of our profession, and of ALP. Join other passionate library workers as we explore “Navigating Neutrality” across all areas of library services, culminating in a keynote presentation by Dr. Julie Todaro.

Base Camp will serve as a platform for elected officials from localities and states, along with concerned citizens, to engage directly with professional librarians. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of library operations and highlight their crucial role in fostering and maintaining the civic health of our nation.
