Access 2global information on life threatening diseases is vital 2our own research, response time, & preparedness for potential epidemics. I recently spoke with the ALA’s international relations committee about strengthening resource sharing & access 2global info. #andreajforalapresident #libraries

School librarians have been at the forefront of censorship backlash. I have been working to change that by advocating for pro-library legislation for ALL library workers. I have also been vocal against book bans & misinformation about the work of librarians. #andreajforALAPresident

"Dr. King had unwavering belief in justice & equality. We must ensure that history does not repeat its darkest chapters. We must instead write a future where every person can thrive." As librarians, we owe it to our patrons to continuing balancing equity & access for ALL. #AndreaJforALAPresident

Hi, I am Andrea J and I am running for president of the ALA. Someone once told me that #libraries are neutral spaces.. #Libraries are NOT neutral spaces & never have been. Libraries represent democracy & DEMOCRACY is not neutral. #IntellectualFreedom #Hamanity

I’m advocating for pro library legislation because libraries are pro democracy. I’m also advocating for more protections for school librarians who have had to bear the brunt of public backlash #libraries #librarians #schoollibrarians

Thank you for your work around protecting libraries.

Just read a bit about you in the latest Am Libraries. How exciting!

If you will be attending Liblearnx, I'd love to discuss my vision for ALA Presidency. We need more support of school librarians.
