Protect the Freedom to Read in 2025
Libraries are facing unprecedented attacks: censorship attempts are on the rise, budgets are being cut, and access to essential resources is at risk. Over 182 bills that harm readers and libraries were introduced in 29 states this year alone—each one a threat to our freedom to read and learn. As the landscape changes in 2025, these attacks will only intensify.
Responding to Threats, Leading the Fight
EveryLibrary works on the front lines—organizing communities and fighting censorship. Through our Fight for the First platform, we’ve powered over 115 local campaigns this year to protect libraries and keep books on shelves. But the threats are growing, and to continue to meet them head-on, we need your support.
The Power of Your Contribution
Your gift goes far beyond advocacy—it creates real, measurable impact for libraries and their communities.
• Defending Libraries: To date, we’ve partnered with 142 libraries on funding elections, providing pro-bono support that helps secure essential funding and protect access to resources.
• Opposing Censorship: Your support fuels direct action against these attacks, keeping books on the shelves.
• Building Stronger Communities: We ensure libraries remain thriving for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves:
• We’ve helped libraries secure nearly $3 billion in funding through voter and political action.
• For every dollar raised, we’ve returned over $1,600 in funding to libraries.
• A $500 donation helps secure over $80,000 for libraries.
• A $50 monthly donation helps secure nearly $100,000 a year!
Libraries are counting on us—and we’re counting on you. Together, we can protect the freedom to read, push back against censorship, and ensure libraries continue to serve as cornerstones of their communities.
