EveryLibrary Has to be Ready Every Day.
Your support makes that possible.
When most people think about EveryLibrary, they think about elections and ballot measures.
But some of our most important victories happen in state capitals and the halls of Congress.

Every single week in 2026, EveryLibrary has been working with lawmakers, coalition partners, library advocates, and grassroots supporters to protect libraries in Congress and state legislatures across the country.

We've mobilized supporters to defend funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, urged Congress to protect federal investments in libraries, supported legislation that expands access to school libraries and prison libraries, fought for the freedom to read, opposed legislation that threatens librarians, and helped thousands of advocates contact their elected officials on issues that matter to their communities.
We've helped support states that are fighting for libraries in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Idaho, Utah, and New Mexico.
We've also helped hundreds of local communities fight for their libraries at fightforthefirst.org.
If everyone who receives this email donates just $5 a month, we can support every library in the country!
When harmful legislation appears, we respond.
When good legislation needs public support, we organize.
When library advocates need tools to make their voices heard, we build them.
This work rarely makes headlines. But it changes votes. And it builds relationships with legislators.
It helps lawmakers understand how their decisions affect students, families, veterans, job seekers, seniors, and everyone who depends on their local library.
Legislative advocacy isn't a one-time effort.
Bills are introduced every session. Committee hearings often happen with little notice. Budget proposals can reshape library funding overnight. Opportunities to influence policy often last only a matter of days.
That means EveryLibrary has to be ready every day.
Your support makes that possible.
A monthly donation of just $5 helps us support your access to American libraries!
Your gift helps us monitor legislation across the country, provide rapid-response advocacy, develop action alerts, organize grassroots campaigns, educate lawmakers, support local advocates, and ensure libraries have a voice whenever important decisions are made.
Libraries need more than supporters. They need advocates like us who show up every day.
Because when lawmakers debate funding, censorship, educational freedom, or access to information, someone has to be there speaking up for libraries.
If you believe libraries deserve a strong voice in every legislature and in Congress, please make a donation to EveryLibrary today.
Together, we'll continue protecting libraries, supporting readers, and defending the freedom to learn.
Thank you for standing with us.
