FAIR in Libraries

Connect with FAIR-Minded Librarians

Many librarians who are concerned about a stifling political and social environment in libraries have been wondering: Who else is out there?

FAIR in Libraries is a nonpartisan professional network dedicated to advancing a culture of fairness, understanding, and humanity in libraries. We believe libraries have a unique mandate to represent a diversity of perspectives in their collections, programs, and daily operations.

FAIR in Libraries’ mission is to influence library workers, associations, boards of directors and funders to prioritize institutional and professional neutrality, viewpoint diversity, intellectual freedom and free speech. To achieve this, FAIR in Libraries will empower citizens with the tools and support needed to ensure their libraries remain neutral and offer multiple viewpoints. If you’d like to sign up or if you have questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
