About the Alliance
The Library Alliance of North Idaho is a grassroots movement.
We support local libraries, raise community awareness about library issues, educate, and fight against censorship.
We are an all volunteer group of librarians, teachers, parents, leaders, and book lovers who care about our community.
We come from a variety of backgrounds and hold a wide range of political and religious ideologies - but we all share the belief that the freedom of speech is essential to the survival of democracy. We believe that libraries should be safe and welcoming places for everyone.
The Library Alliance of North Idaho was previously known as the Community Library Network Alliance, but we’ve changed our name and expanded our mission to include all of our North Idaho libraries.
You can donate to the Library Alliance on Venmo: @LANIREADS
