My friend and colleague Emily Drabinski is the president of ALA at a time when there is a pretty serious culture war surrounding libraries. This is her first interview about what's been happening.

ALA's been decently supportive, but in my opinion not as supportive as they could have been, in part because they are managing their own image issues. I support ALA but also feel they could be better.
