Library Advocacy, Measureable Results

As the nation’s first and only political action committee for libraries, we’re proud that our donors and supporters can measure our success in real numbers and results.

We just mailed two checks to library campaigns!

Every year EveryLibrary works with dozens of libraries that are going to the voters for funding. One of the ways that we support libraries at the ballot is by making direct contributions to their campaigns. In fact, through direct campaign donations from our Rapid Response Fund and through pro-bono campaign consulting, we are able to secure over $1,600 in stable local funding for libraries for every $1 we receive in donations.

EveryLibrary is Proud to Support D.C. School Librarians

Despite the fact that the District of Columbia Public Schools will receive $14 million in stimulus funds, and even though dozens of reports show that school libraries are critical to student literacy success, our students continue to lose access to their school libraries.  America's children deserve better.

Big Win for McCall Library!

I'm very happy to share that donations from people like you have helped the McCall Library pass a bond to build a new library.
