ALA Issues Statement on Providing Help to LA Libraries Affected by the Fires

On. Jan. 13, the ALA executive board issued a statement about the Los Angeles fires, which reads in part:

The ALA has reached out to offer support to the California Library Association. We urge everyone to join us in supporting those impacted by these devastating wildfires.

Here are a few ways you can help:

  • Donate money to local relief efforts and to the ALA Disaster Relief Fund for damaged or destroyed libraries. We will work with the ALA Chapter to distribute funds.
  • Volunteer your time to local libraries and organizations mobilizing to assist those in need.
  • Advocate for policies and funding that ensure libraries can continue their critical work during and after disasters.

Together, we can reinforce our communities’ resilience. Libraries are pillars of support in times of need. Let us work united in our commitment to ensure that our libraries, schools, universities, and museums remain strong and accessible for all.

For more information, read the press release.
