Abstract

The article focuses on the national library advocacy organization EveryLibrary and its efforts to encourage local voters to support funding for public libraries. It states EveryLibrary was launched in 2012 and used a crowdfunding fundraiser model in its first year to raise nearly 50,000 dollars in small donations. It mentions EveryLibrary has supported 37 local campaigns for library funding and won 28 of them by engaging directly with voters, and the importance of library staff in these efforts.
