American Libraries ; ALA Releases State of America’s Libraries 2025 Report

Report looks at censorship attempts, artificial intelligence, and sustainability in US libraries

"On April 7, the American Library Association (ALA) released its State of America’s Libraries 2025 report, an annual snapshot of library trends. The report is published during National Library Week, this year taking place April 6–12.

As in recent years, the 2025 report documented censorship in libraries from the previous year. In 2024, ALA recorded 821 attempts to censor library books and other materials across all library types. This is a decrease from the 1,247 attempts that were recorded in 2023 but still the third-highest number since ALA began tracking library censorship in 1990."
