Thank you for visiting Sara Kelly Johns' campaign site for ALA President

Please consider my vision and platform for ALA and my qualifications to lead ALA. 

The American Library Association is our profession's national voice. Our libraries' accomplishments are astounding while, at the same time we face uncertain funding to provide services and programs. I envision leading an ALA whose voice:

• vigorously promotes the value of libraries to the public and decision-makers, 
• creates and retains diversity in our profession,
• seeks equitable salaries and benefits for all library workers,
• champions intellectual freedom, privacy and equal access to information,
• is open, transparent and encourages participation, and
• provides targeted professional development and training, delivered in every possible format.

We must be activists in these days of shrinking and tight budgets, balancing a widening digital divide with the incredible potential for advancement in services. Connected, we can meet the challenges.

I welcome your ideas for meeting our future though my blog.  Please consider my qualifications to be your ALA president here. My vision and platform outline my ideas for change. You can contact me and endorse me, follow my Campaign 2.0 through social media  as well as donate to my campaign.

I am ready to put my energy, expertise and enthusiasm to work for ALA--and for you. I appreciate your vote for me.
