Student Chapter of the ALA

About the ALA:

Founded on October 6, 1876 during the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, the American Library Association (ALA) was created to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. Our current strategic plan, ALA Ahead to 2015, calls for continued work in the areas of Advocacy for Libraries and the Profession, Diversity, Education and Lifelong Learning, Equitable Access to Information and Library Services, Intellectual Freedom, Literacy, Organizational Excellence and Transforming Libraries.

The NCCU Student chapter of the ALA is an important part of the social and professional development of the leaders of the future.
