A Message from AZLA President, Corey Christians

As devoted public servants, library staff always want to be there for our patrons in a crisis.  Libraries across Arizona are finding innovative ways to serve, while protecting both staff and patrons from spreading the COVID-19 virus.  The last thing we want to do is close our doors, but if temporary closures will be of greater benefit to public health, that is what we must do.  The ALA is recommending library closures at this time to minimize the spread of the virus and to protect patrons and staff from getting sick.  If your local officials determine the best course of action is to close your library, I encourage you to continue working to provide resources and value to your communities in ways that allow library staff to remain safe and continue working.  Here are some innovative ways Arizona libraries are maintaining service in the midst of this pandemic:   ·         Offering additional online resources   ·         Providing curbside or drive-thru pickup of ma

AzLA Condemns Systemic Racism

The Executive Board of the Arizona Library Association (AzLA) stands in solidarity with the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) and endorses the American Library Association's (ALA) statement condemning violence and racism toward Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). The Arizona Library Association strongly condemns the institutionalized violence and racism that has been exposed, yet again, in our society. We mourn for the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, among others, and press for reflection and action. As the professional organization representing libraries of every type (academic, public, school, and special) across the great State of Arizona, we believe in working together with our communities, with those looking to expand opportunities, improve quality of life, promote public safety, enhance learning and access to information, but we cannot
