The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), believes that all children, no matter their circumstances or attributes, need and deserve the very best opportunities, and envisions a future where public libraries are recognized as vital to all children and the communities that support them. That passion energizes ALSC members to be innovators in the field of children’s library services, particularly in areas of access, advocacy, outreach, inclusion, and diversity.”
