Libraries and schools are facing coordinated pressure across the country, and the consequences are real: book bans, discrimination, and deliberate attempts to strip funding from the places that keep communities informed and connected.
Right now, we’re in a short window between legislative recesses and the start of the new school year, when many of the next decisions get set in motion. Your support today helps us respond in hours, not weeks, and stay in the rooms where choices are made before the next wave of attacks gains momentum.
For more than a decade, EveryLibrary has been built for this kind of fight. We help communities protect free expression and keep libraries open and funded by organizing for elections, showing up in policy battles, and supporting local advocates with strategy, messaging, and rapid response when it turns urgent.
To date, we’ve helped libraries win nearly 3 billion dollars in stable funding through voter and political action. Put simply: the work you support here doesn’t just raise awareness. It changes outcomes. Every dollar we raise returns more than $1,600 to libraries.
If you’d like to see how that impact looks in real communities, you can explore recent wins and financials in our Annual Report .
