Help us support libraries in the United States by starting a monthly donation of just $1 or more and we'll send you one of these great "I Love My Library" masks.
Throughout the last 8 years we have supported hundreds of library campaigns, we have fought against bad legislation against libraries in Nebraska, Michigan, and Kentucky, we have pushed back as the AFP spent tens of thousands to keep a library from being built, and we have fought against school library closures across the country. We have also pushed back against Republican and Democratic legislators who have threatened our great library institutions.
With support from people like you we have won many of these fights and in fact, for every dollar we have spent on a campaign we have returned over $1,600 in funding to libraries totaling over 1.7 billion dollars so far. You can read about all of our work in our annual reports here!
We’re asking you to help us fight. This battle isn’t just about books and summer reading programs- it’s about preserving the cornerstone of democracy itself. All it takes is a monthly donation of $1, $3 or $5. That costs less than a cup of coffee!
We use your donations to turn every dollar you give to EveryLibrary into $1,600 of stable library funding through our advocacy and support for libraries at the ballot box. That means that if you donate just $5 a month for one year, you will have helped us raise almost $100,000 for libraries! And if you donate our biggest ask on this page, just $25 a month, you will have helped us raise almost $500,000 for libraries!
- $1 per month helps us secure almost $20,000 in library funding
- $3 per month helps us secure almost $60,000 in library funding
- $5 per month helps us secure almost $100,000 in library funding
Your monthly donation might be less than a cup of coffee, but it does so much more. Your donations allow us to provide pro-bono consulting to libraries in crisis. Through your donations we can make direct contributions to library ballot campaigns. And of course, your donations help us build the tools and data that libraries need to continue to serve their communities. You make it all possible with your small monthly donations.
