PW's Coverage of ALA Annual 2025

Since it is the holiday week and I am still digging out from being at ALA Annual, I wanted to start my ALA Annual 2025 coverage with PW's coverage.

Here are the articles with links:

• ALA 2025: Program Picks
• ALA 2025: Leading from the Heartland: PW Talks with Sam Helmick
• ALA 2025: Librarians Converge on the Cradle of Liberty
• At ALA 2025, Attendees Reflect on History and Democracy
• ALA 2025: Librarians Chart a Course for the Future Amid ‘Existential Threat’
• ALA 2025: AI Tech, DIY Zines Capture Librarians’ Attention
• Daniel J. Montgomery Named ALA Executive Director (announced during the conference)

There is a lot of information here including things I was not able to get to. Also, this is the book world covering us. I like seeing how others report on us.

I will be back tomorrow with a wrap up of one of the panels I moderated and offer the books by all three authors to one lucky winner. 

Then I will be back on Monday with my ALA Annual thoughts before I get to all of my Booklist reviews and the LJ Horror Genre Preview in the July 2025 issue.

And I am sure there will be more people and organizations with ALA 2025 coverage which I will make sure to post here for everyone as well. Whether you were in Philly or not, there is a lot to learn from these reports

So it will be a slow start to July but then we are going full blast.
