American Library Association Executive Director named to TIME 100 List

Tracie D. Hall, Executive Director of the American Library Association, has been named in the TIME Most Influential List. Hall had no idea that she was being considered for the list. She called it a humbling experience to be named on the list, which features some very notable and well-known people. People on the TIME 100 List are chosen by TIME editors. She believes she was chosen because libraries are on the front lines of conversations about Democracy, the right to read and free expression.
