Vote SKJ for ALA! - Energy, Enthusiasm and Experience
Thank you for visiting Sara Kelly Johns' campaign site for ALA President

Please consider my vision for ALA and my qualifications by exploring my campaign wiki.

The American Library Association is our profession's national voice in a time when libraries' accomplishments are astounding while we face uncertain funding to provide services and programs. I envision leading an ALA that:

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

We have much to do to 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 and I appreciate your vote for me. For more background, please go to http://skj4ala.wikispaces.com.

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