- Running in Hard Times Berry, John N., III Library Associations Economic Climate Board Candidates Presidents Administrator Role Fees Advocacy Administrative Organization Politics Roberta Stevens and Kent Oliver are campaigning hard for the presidency of the American Library Association (ALA). Stevens is outreach projects and partnerships officer at the Library of Congress. Oliver is executive director of the Stark County District Library in Canton, Ohio. They have debated, discussed, and posted web sites, Facebook pages, blogs, and more to get people's votes.
