Report a Threat to Libraries

“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

Rapid Response For Niles-Maine Library

July 26, 2021

If you’ve been following the news about the Niles-Maine District Library over the past few weeks, you’ve seen a group of radical activist board members on a mission to defund the library from the inside. That’s why EveryLibrary responded rapidly and stood with the local Coalition and ASFCME in opposing these draconian cuts to the library at the #savenileslibrary rally.

Library Advocacy, Measureable Results

June 25, 2021

As the nation’s first and only political action committee for libraries, we’re proud that our donors and supporters can measure our success in real numbers and results.

We just mailed two checks to library campaigns!

June 20, 2021

Every year EveryLibrary works with dozens of libraries that are going to the voters for funding. One of the ways that we support libraries at the ballot is by making direct contributions to their campaigns. In fact, through direct campaign donations from our Rapid Response Fund and through pro-bono campaign consulting, we are able to secure over $1,600 in stable local funding for libraries for every $1 we receive in donations.

EveryLibrary is Proud to Support D.C. School Librarians

June 08, 2021

Despite the fact that the District of Columbia Public Schools will receive $14 million in stimulus funds, and even though dozens of reports show that school libraries are critical to student literacy success, our students continue to lose access to their school libraries. America's children deserve better.

Big Win for McCall Library!
