Library Resources
Our list of organizations and websites represents some of the richest resources in the library sector that provide education, training, professional development, networking, grant information, and inspiration. We oppose censorship and any effort to coerce belief, suppress opinion, or punish those whose expression does not conform to what is deemed to be orthodox in history, politics, or belief.
Given recent attacks on First Amendment rights of freedom to speak, publish, and read, we have added some new, robust resources for those libraries experiencing challenges. To easily identify resources on this topic, look for the new tiles highlighted in red with our flag icon.
