Statement of Support from EBLIDA to the American Libraries Association (ALA)

Dear Colleagues

The EBLIDA Executive Committe has drafted this letter of support for our American library colleagues and more specifically for the American Library Association (ALA). EBLIDA feels it is important to show solidarity with the ALA and the global library community as many organizations, institutions and librarians are facing attacks on their neutrality and their ability to serve all members of their communities.

Please feel free to distribute this letter of support to relevant stakeholders in your countries and networks. We also welcome the idea of sending it to the American Embassies in your respective countries.

You are also free to use, edit and/or translate the letter of support for more national purposes, though we ask that you only credit the statement to EBLIDA if there have been no changes to the wording of the text (excluding translation).

If you have any follow up questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Andrew Cranfield
