AkLA has two active chapters, one in Anchorage and one in Juneau. AkLA publishes The Newspoke (1981 – present) for news about the association and The Sourdough (1969 – present) which is their professional journal. In addition they maintain a set of Culturally Responsive Guidelines for Alaska Public Libraries to guide libraries in appropriate services to indigenous patrons.
