ALA Policy Manual

The ALA Policy Manual includes brief statements of policies adopted by the ALA Council. The full text of pertinent position statements, policies, and procedures is retained in the " Policy Reference File" (formerly known as “Current Reference File”) at ALA Headquarters. Outdated policies will be retained in an historical file at the ALA Headquarters. Where ALA has made a position statement applicable to the operation of libraries, ALA accepts that statement for its own relevant operations.
