At the 2026 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, ALA Council passed a resolution calling for the adoption and recognition of the Librarians’ and Library Workers’ Bill of Rights, a landmark framework affirming the dignity, safety and professional rights of library workers across all sectors.

The resolution responds to growing concerns about the treatment and working conditions of library professionals nationwide while underscoring the essential role librarians and library workers play as champions of intellectual freedom, equitable access to information, and lifelong learning.

The resolution also highlights the escalating challenges faced by library workers, including harassment, censorship pressures, and workplace inequities and calls on library systems at all levels to formally adopt the Bill of Rights as a guiding document for policy and practice.
