The ALSC Blog – A Look Back at January through May 2026

The ALSC Blog must align with ALSC’s vision, core values and commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

There’s SNOW Place Like ALSC!

Whether we like it or not, many of us are officially in the snowy season! It’s time to hibernate and be cozy as we move into the New Year. As we begin 2026, now is the time to think about setting goals to show up as our best selves. You can read more about setting goals in this blog post, New Year, New Goals. Alternatively, you could try choosing just one word to theme your year around. You can read about how to do that in this blog post, New Year…One Word.  One adventure or goal you could choose to embark on in 2026 is becoming more involved in ALSC. Whether you are already a member, a YALSA member who will be joining us in 2026, or a prospective ALSC-er, there are so many reasons why this is a wonderful organization to be a part of. There is truly SNOW…

Happy Birthday, ALSC Blog!

Earlier this month, the ALSC Blog celebrated its 12th birthday.
