Libraries need your support, so why not 5K Your Way for them!
Registration for 5K Your Way For Libraries is open!
Join EveryLibrary as we raise $50,000 to ensure stable funding and access to libraries for generations to come on September 26 -October 2, 2021.
Did you know the oldest library on record dates back to the 7th century BC and contained 4,000-year-old artifacts? Because libraries have been a staple of society for so long, it can be easy to assume that they will always be there. Unfortunately, many libraries across the country are in crisis and in desperate need of stable funding.
That is why we are hosting the 5K Your Way For Libraries. With your support, we are gearing up to help dozens of libraries at the ballot box and fight for library funding across the country again this year. We are also going to support library and information issues like restoring net neutrality, saving school librarians, and ensuring that our nation’s leaders stand up for library funding.
EveryLibrary needs your support to continue the important work we have been doing for libraries and librarians for the last 9 years. From Sept. 26–Oct. 2, 2021 join library supporters around the country as they participate in EveryLibrary's first 5K Your Way For Libraries. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure EveryLibrary can continue our library-saving work. Here’s how you can help:
Form a Team: Become a team leader and invite your friends and family to join your team and raise critical funds.
Join a Team: Join an existing team, get moving, and ask others to support you with a donation.
Join as an Individual: Sign up as an individual, do your thing, and raise some money!
