The Alaska Library Association (AkLA) is a professional organization for Alaska's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Fairbanks, Alaska.[1] It was founded July 5, 1972, and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1997.[2][3]
AkLA has two active chapters, one in Anchorage and one in Juneau.[4] AkLA publishes The Newspoke (1981 – present) for news about the association and The Sourdough (1969 – present) which is their professional journal.[5][6] In addition they maintain a set of Culturally Responsive Guidelines for Alaska Public Libraries to guide libraries in appropriate services to indigenous patrons.[7]
