The purpose of this organization shall be to maintain
an association of persons interested in libraries; to focus public
attention on the library; to stimulate the use of the library's
resources and services; to encourage gifts, endowments and bequests
to the library; to support and cooperate with the library in developing
library services and facilities for the community; and to support
the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association
Bill of Rights.
