The American Library Association (ALA) is proud to present the podcast, “How I Library.” Hosted by ALA Communications Manager Phil Morehart, this monthly series features authors, filmmakers, musicians, scholars, thought leaders, and, of course, librarians discussing the importance of libraries, their favorite library memories, and issues facing the library world. Along the way, they share thoughts about their work, what inspires them, and so much more. 

The podcast is an extension of the #HowILibrary campaign that ALA launched in 2023 that asked authors “how they library”: what the library means to them, how they use and have used the library, and how the library has impacted their lives.
