 PROFILE
Shhhh! The American Library Association (ALA) is an organization dedicated to the development, improvement, and promotion of library and information services. Founded in 1876, the ALA works with libraries of all types, from public to academic to prison. Governed by an elected council, the 55,500-member organization consists of about 10 divisions, 20 round tables, 20 affiliated organizations, and 60 chapters (from all 50 states), all working to advance ALA causes (such as Banned Books Week, an annual event promoting awareness about efforts to ban certain books from libraries). In 2000, the ALA announced it would challenge a federal mandate of Internet filtering on computers in libraries.
