The American Library Association (ALA) is the oldest and largest library association in the world. It was founded on October 6, 1876, during the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The mission of ALA is “to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.”
ALA holds its Annual Conference and Exhibition in June of each year. As the world’s biggest library event and a $5 billion dollar industry with over 120,000 libraries, the conference brings together 25,000 librarians, library staff, educators, authors, publishers, friends of libraries, trustees, special guests, and exhibitors to engage and participate in the ongoing transformation of libraries.
The American Library Association has an ALA Store that develops many resources for the library and information services communities. Almost 300,000 of the products are purchased every year, and the proceeds help to support the ALA’s general programs.
The ALA Store features titles from ALA Editions, the general publishing operation of the Association, and ALA Graphics, the unit specializing in promotional products supporting libraries, literacy, and reading, as well as other products from around the Association. ALA Store purchases fund advocacy, awareness, and accreditation programs for library professionals worldwide.
