ALSC stands for which organization?

• A. American Library Service to Children
• B. Association for Library Services and Adults
• C. Association for Library Services and Children
• D. Association for Library Service to Children

Answer: (D)

A key idea here is recognizing the official names of professional library organizations. ALSC is the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association dedicated to improving library services for kids. The wording exactly matches the organization’s focus: the Association as the group, Library Service as the field, and Children as the audience. The other options misname or misplace words—one uses American Library Service instead of Association, another switches to Adults, and another uses Library Services (plural) or changes the relationship with a conjunction instead of the connecting phrase “to.” Because the official title is precise, the correct form clearly identifies the organization and its audience.
