President’s Address: Creating Stone Soup Together

Abstract

As I head into the final months of my term as your 2022–2023 ALSC President, I find myself reflecting on all of the activities that have taken place during my term and all of the gifts fellow members have shared to make them possible. You’ve got a sampling of those gifts in this and every issue of Children and Libraries—articles from colleagues across the ecosystem of library service to children sharing effective practices, exciting ideas, and words of encouragement and support for all of us and the work we do each day. It is never lost on me that ALSC is a member-driven association. Without the talents, time, and commitment of our members, we would have very little to show for ourselves as an association.
