You remember the magic of your childhood library—your first library card, the thrill of a stack of books, a quiet place to read, imagine, and just be yourself.

Your kids deserve that same experience.

But today, that experience is under threat.

Across the country, libraries are facing growing attacks—coordinated efforts to ban books, censor ideas, and push entire communities out of the conversation. At the same time, libraries are doing more than ever to support families, promote literacy, and serve as safe, inclusive spaces for all children—often with fewer resources.

This is a defining moment. And parents are stepping up.

When you support the American Library Association, you help:

• Provide diverse books and inclusive storytimes

• Keep libraries open, welcoming, and safe for all families

• Defend against censorship and book bans that silence voices

• Secure federal funding so every library can meet its community’s needs

Your gift helps protect the programs, resources, and spaces that children and families rely on—so that every child can learn, grow, and feel seen.

Donations are secure and tax-deductible. Every dollar strengthens the fight to keep libraries free, inclusive, and open to all.
