Alabama Public Library Services

Posted on Resources by Jessica Hayes · March 05, 2025 2:42 PM
Alabama Public Library Services (APLS) is the state agency that serves public libraries in the 67 counties in Alabama and is empowered to advise all established public libraries and assist communities that may propose to establish public libraries. APLS assists libraries and distributes state funding, but does not govern or have direct authority over Alabama libraries.

The APLS Board members represent each congressional district in Alabama: 

Congressional District 1: Ron Snider
Congressional District 2: Angelia Stokes
Congressional District 3: Amy Minton
Congressional District 4: Debbie Windsor 
Congressional District 5: John Wahl (APLS Chair & AL GOP Chairman) 
Congressional District 6: Kasandra Stevens
