Advocating for Libraries and Research
Working with our partners for the future of libraries and academia
Research and education have the power to transform society — but first, researchers, faculty, librarians, students and staff need support, resources and tools to push the boundaries of knowledge.
This is why we are committed to supporting libraries and advancing research across the globe.
Together, we will work together for the future of libraries and research.
Our partnerships
American Library Association
We work closely with the American Library Association (ALA), the largest library association in the world. It advocates for libraries, library workers, and everyone they serve, from small, rural libraries to the largest library systems in the country.
We support the ALA’s Public Supporter Program as part of our commitment to library advocacy and education. Read more.
EveryLibrary
Since 2023 we have proudly partnered with EveryLibrary, a non-partisan advocacy organization dedicated to safeguarding and supporting libraries in the U.S.
This collaboration enables us to leverage the strength of both our organizations to aid libraries through dedicated resources and advocacy.
