Book Flood Podcast (Ep 5): John Chrastka Defending Libraries
When the books get back on the shelf the community gets back on track.
EveryLibrary's Executive Director, John Chrastka, was on the Book Flood Podcast talking with host Tom Nixon about the impact of Project 2025 on libraries, trends in censorship and book bans across America, and how the FightForTheFirst.org platform is helping local campaigns win.
Do libraries need to be protected in 2024? The answer that surprises no one is that they most certainly do. In this podcast, John Chrastka and host Tom Nixon take a look at the current state and what it might look like in the future.
John Chrastka is executive director of EveryLibrary, the first nationwide political action committee for libraries, and the EveryLibrary Institute, a nonprofit focused on research and training to stabilize and extend library funding.
Since 2012, EveryLibrary has helped 130 library communities in the United States with ballot measures for funding, operations and buildings, winning more than 85% and securing over $2.8 billion in funding on Election Days.
