Vote Libraries Month Throughout October
Vote Libraries: 2018
to vote yes for libraries in the United States!
Over
90% of public library funding comes from the will of the local voters and the
local politicians. That's why EveryLibrary, the first and only national political action
committee for libraries, is launching Vote Libraries 2018 in October to
highlight the importance of voting Yes for libraries on the ballot and for
candidates who care about library funding.
Vote Libraries 2018 is a national
marketing campaign designed to reach more Americans who believe in libraries
and ask them to take the Pledge to Vote Libraries prior to the November
elections. In dozens of communities, a library's local funding is on the
ballot. Across the country, this election will set the direction for local,
state, and national library funding by our elected officials. How you vote this
November matters to the future of library funding. That's why we're asking you
to sign the
pledge to vote for libraries and for politicians who support
libraries.
At
EveryLibrary, we want children to have access to great books and literature or
opportunities to learn to love reading and literacy. We need to ensure that
libraries have the funding they need to continue to serve their communities. Without
libraries, we deny people access to tools needed for career skills, tools to
start new businesses, or to simply get ahead in life. We need to stand together
to vote for libraries and to vote for politicians who support libraries.
Libraries are crucial to American communities and the livelihood of millions of
Americans every single day. Vote Libraries month encourages us to stand together to support libraries so we do not lose them. READ MORE >>
