About Us

Atyourlibrary.org is the public Web site for the American Library Association’s public awareness campaign — The Campaign for America’s Libraries, which promotes the value of libraries and librarians.

The goal of www.atyourlibrary.org is to provide information and recommended resources that everyone can take advantage of at their local library.

The mission of the site is to be a catalyst that drives people to their local libraries and to encourage a long-term, vibrant relationship between communities and their libraries. We want to get the word out that libraries are comprehensive, modern, efficient and easy-to-use.

New articles are uploaded every two weeks, in which we reach out to experts to learn about the latest trends, how-tos and tips for parents, job seekers, teenagers and kids.

Where available, recommended resources are linked to the World Cat database, which provides a list of the nearest libraries with the recommended item.

We welcome you to browse the site to learn about all sorts of interesting topics, but most importantly we encourage you to visit your local library to find out how you can benefit from the knowledge of the librarians and the resources available.

Happy browsing and remember, take a trip to your nearest library to learn more!

This new venture would not have happened without seed money from Carnegie Corporation of New York and without the leadership of its president Vartan Gregorian, a true friend of libraries.
