2026 marks the 150th anniversary of the American Library Association. It's a milestone that invites us to imagine the libraries of tomorrow, to advocate fiercely for open access to knowledge, and to invest in the infrastructure, both digital and human, that makes libraries a foundation of thriving communities.

Celebrate, connect, and reflect with us all year at ALA150.org. #ForOurLibraries

What does 150 years of impact for our libraries look like?

From helping establish the country's first bookmobile, to collecting millions of books for American soldiers overseas, to launching a nationwide campaign to sign up every child in the U.S. for a library card and so much more, ALA history is American history. And now you can see it in our new online timeline.

Tracing ALA's history from its founding through today, the new ALA150 timeline provides a comprehensive and inspiring look into how library services have evolved over the last 150 years.
