Our libraries are at a critical crossroads. With President Trump back in office, he has unleashed a wrath of new executive orders directly targeting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) as well as diversity initiatives that affect many libraries across the country. In 2024 alone, 182 bills across 29 states threatened the freedom to read and learn, placing immense pressure on these vital community institutions. As we progress through 2025, such challenges are escalating. This moment calls for decisive action to protect the very foundations of our communities.
We're Leading the Fight
EveryLibrary is at the forefront, responding to each new challenge. Through our Fight For The First platform, we've already powered over 115 local campaigns to protect libraries and keep books on shelves. Yet, we know that these threats are continuously growing, and we need your help.
Your Impact
Your gift will go beyond advocacy—it will create real, measurable change. Here’s what we aim to do with your support:
Defend Libraries: With your donation, we can defend libraries against escalating censorship, ensure access to vital resources, and oppose every form of censorship that threatens our communities.
Secure Funding: We’ve partnered with 142 libraries on funding elections, providing pro bono support to secure essential funding. This support protects access for researchers and community members during these crucial times.
Empower Communities: By working to keep important books on shelves and preserving access to knowledge, we’re not just protecting our libraries—we’re putting them in a position to thrive.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
We’ve helped secure over $3 billion in funding through voter and political action.
For every dollar we’ve raised, we returned $1,600 in funding to libraries.
A $100 donation can help secure over $160,000 in library funding.
A $500 donation can return over $800,000 in library funding.
