Have libraries been a vital part of your world? Did a librarian ever assist you with an important project? Well, like so many other public agencies, libraries and librarians are under threat–but you don’t have to take this news lying down, because the non-profit advocacy group EveryLibrary emboldens libraries and their communities to achieve political outcomes that keep libraries funded, thriving, and safe.
Monday, March 10, join Talk of the Bay host, Christine Barrington and EveryLibrary Co-founder and Digital Director, Patrick Sweeney, as they lay out the stark realities facing libraries and their staff across the nation, and how this organization can offer you and your local library the skills, strategies and support to achieve remarkable outcomes.
Fight for the First is a petition-driven platform offered by EveryLibrary to support local efforts working to protect libraries and librarians.
Donations to EveryLibrary go far and have translated into billions of dollars in direct funding to libraries across the nation: Donate to EveryLibrary
