Hello fellow NDLA members,

I thought it might be best if I gathered ALA happenings and sent out a weekly email to membership, instead of sending out multiple long emails! It is my hope to send out updates on Fridays, but if there is something time sensitive, I will do my best to get that to all of you as soon as possible.
Only two more weeks until ALA’s first LibLearnX conference. Just a reminder that LibLearnx has taken the place of ALA Midwinter. This conference is entirely virtual, and there is still time to register. LibLearnX will feature many great speakers, including Angeline Boulley, Cicely Lewis, and Molly Shannon. There will be many opportunities for attendees to learn, network, and engage in discussions.
ALA Council will meet during LibLearnX, and I will be sharing outcomes from those meetings.
ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom has a blog called  Intellectual Freedom News which is updated weekly on Friday. The purpose of the blog is to raise awareness on news related to intellectual freedom, such as censorship, access, net neutrality, information literacy & disinformation, and other areas.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Sara Westall, ALA Chapter Councilor
