EveryLibrary, the first and only national political action committee (PAC) for libraries, launched this week. Its objective: ballot initiatives and measures for local libraries.
An announcement dated Sept. 4 stated that “The organization, found online at www.everylibrary.org, will fundraise nationally to support local library ballot committees and PACs, and provide them with technical support and consultancy on how to run – and win – at the ballot box.”
According to John Chrastka, executive director of EveryLibrary, “EveryLibrary is built on the idea that any library ballot initiative anywhere matters to every library everywhere.”
“EveryLibrary will allow us to raise funds and support specific ballot measures that keep libraries open and thriving,” Chrastka said. “Elections are the ‘last mile’ of library advocacy and this new PAC is an amazing opportunity for our community to talk directly to voters.”
