What’s at Stake for Our Libraries this November

October 08, 2018

This November, we are at work in 10 towns, cities, and counties as they campaign for critically needed local library funding. Over $136 million dollars in stable operating funds and building projects is at stake for these libraries. We are also proud to be working closely with our partners at the Colorado Association of Libraries and the Utah Library Association as they campaign on two important statewide ballot measures for new school funding.

Join Us For National Vote Libraries Month

October 01, 2018

At EveryLibrary, we know that over 90% of public library funding comes from the will of local voters and politicians. That’s why we’re launching National Vote Libraries Month throughout October – a national marketing campaign designed to reach more Americans who believe in the power of libraries and encourage them to pledge to vote for libraries and politicians who support libraries. That’s why, prior to the November elections, we’re asking you to sign and share the Pledge to Vote for Libraries:
