ALSC and YALSA to Become One ALA Division After almost a decade of the Young Adult Library Services Association in the red, the ALA’s teen services division will be subsumed into the Association of Library Service to Children.

The ALSC + YALSA merger is meant to strengthen support for both children’s and teen librarians—but not without growing pains.

We're heading to Philadelphia for the 2025 annual ALA Conference! ✨We can't wait to connect with you all. Drop a 👋 if you're attending. Check out our events below! #ALAAC25 #ALSC @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

Wow -- #ALSC and #YALSA re-merging? I wonder what my #childrenslit and #YA #librarian and #ALA colleagues think of that. Sounds like a good move financially, because YALSA's been in the red for years. I hope, though, that programs and conversations about #teens don't get lost.

I’m super sad to hear the news about #YALSA. This is my first year as a member of #ALA, and I was really excited to pay my dues to support it. Despite this, I know ALA and specifically #ALSC will continue to support teens and prioritize their library services. They need it now more than ever.

Robbin Friedman: ALSC Fiscal Officer Candidate, 2025 Election In an effort to help ALSC members make an informed decision before they vote, today’s blog post consists of a statement from the candidate standing for election as the ALSC Fiscal Officer, **Robbin Friedman**. The candidate submitted a written statement. Voting begins Monday, March 10th. As ALSC’s current fiscal officer, I have participated in the division’s efforts to maintain stability during a time of upheaval for ALA. In recent years, the association has experienced changes to our membership and staff leadership and implemented a new operating agreement to fund our shared needs. I have represented ALSC to the best of my ability throughout these shifts and worked to share my knowledge with our membership. Robbin Friedman and Theo (the llama) Photo credit: Mercy Garland I believe we can make our association more transparent and resilient, better prepared to support our libraries and the communities that use them. That includes offering members tools to understand our finances and prioritizing ALSC’s commitment to inclusion, equity and diversity. Building a more equitable organization requires work, time and money and will strengthen ALSC as we move forward. I am grateful to this organization and its membership for their dedication to libraries and the children and communities they serve. Throughout my time as fiscal officer and budget committee chair, I have learned much about how the division can support our shared values, and what challenges we face in doing so. I intend to continue working towards our resilient future, on the Board or from the membership ranks. **Robbin Friedman** * * * _The 2025 ALA Election opens on Monday, March 10th and closes on Wednesday, April 2nd.
