ARSL Advocacy Priorities

ARSL focuses its advocacy on the issues that matter most to rural and small libraries. We support our members and speak with a unified voice on two priorities: Intellectual Freedom, and Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access (IDEA). This commitment comes from ARSL's Mission, Vision & Values, as defined by our Board of Directors.
