Please take a moment to help support libraries in the United States by making a donation to EveryLibrary

“The guidance EveryLibrary provided to staff and trustees on Information Only Campaigns, messaging, and the process was invaluable to us. All the more so because it was provided pro-bono. Their personal engagement helped allay fears and reassure us along the way, too. Thanks to EveryLibrary you for the great work you do for libraries.”

Jeannie Dilger, Executive Director, Palatine (IL) Public Library District

I am so unbelievably grateful for the help and support I was given by EveryLibrary. They got the word out at such a crucial point in the election, which is why our fight went national and then international.

Laura Sanders, Director, Lafourche Parish (LA) Public Library system

You and your team are doing great work and every librarian should be supporting EveryLibrary! I’ve made my contribution a recurring monthly donation and I wish you all the best. Thanks for the work that you’re doing and I am proud to put my support behind it!

Richard Huffine

Thanks for providing the vision and the leadership to create this incredibly valuable resource for libraries across the United States. Libraries have a long history of collaboration and cooperation in the development of services for our communities, and it’s time we stand together in the political arena as well. Cheers.

Derek Wolfgram

The smartest thing I did with this campaign was to contact you and ask for your help!!!! It was a pleasure working with EveryLibrary. You were a GREAT support!

Brenda Crider, Director, Bucyrus Public Library

I give monthly because I believe in what they do to keep libraries open and available to all.

We Were Built For This!

Book bans and censorship, library defunding initiatives, anti-library legislation, attacks on librarians and the profession... EveryLibrary was built to fight against these threats.

This Election Should Not Determine the Fate of Libraries (But it Might Have)

The conventional wisdom is that libraries are a local matter. It was a given that library funding and policies were decided by local voters across hundreds of local zip codes and that the top of the ticket and national politics don’t matter. Last night, as we watched local election results roll in across the country, we still believed that maybe - if given the opportunity - people would support libraries, the First Amendment, and the right to access diverse collections.
