Description:: Welcome to the African American Studies Librarians Section's Facebook group.

The African American Studies Librarians Section (AFAS) is a section within the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) of the American Library Association (ALA), and is the outgrowth of a discussion group consisting of dynamic librarians with interest in and concern for African American studies and librarianship.

AFAS provides the resources—ideas, programs, discussion forums and networking opportunities—to support the development of African American Studies librarianship and resources in academic and research libraries.

AFAS has four goals:

1. Promote African American Studies librarianship.

2. Actively participate in the preservation of African American history and culture.

3. Partner with African American Studies educators to promote the continued research and study of African American history and life.

4. Collaborate with African American Studies scholars in the academy and in the African American community.
