How ALTA Can Help You

ALTA is the only organization that has developed a national network of library trustees. This network plus the extensive resources of ALTA can empower you to advocate for and adopt policies that promote the highest quality library and information services.

Who Are ALTA Members?

Like you, ALTA members are enthusiastic library supporters who as trustees or advocates speak with a united voice in championing their library and their dedicated library staff. They are people who know libraries are a vital part of their communities and our nation, and believe that excellent library service is the cornerstone of a better-educated, information-literate society.

You Have Questions, ALTA Has Answers...

  • Your library is facing a budget cut, what can you do?
  • A parent is demanding that a certain book be removed from the library, how should you respond?
  • You need to hire a new library director, what qualifications should you be looking for?
  • Your library building needs to be replaced, can or should you renovate the current building?
