History
EveryLibrary was founded by John Chrastka in 2012, and he remains the organization's executive director. The group is the only political action committee focused on supporting libraries.[2] Operating nationally, EveryLibrary is based in Chicago, Illinois.[3]
EveryLibrary has focused their advocacy on topics including supporting funding for school librarians,[3] and opposing book bans and censorship. The group maintains lists of "Legislation of Concern", where they identify state legislation that they believe would be harmful to libraries and librarians, or the freedom to read and access information.[4][5][6]
In 2023, the EveryLibrary Institute and Book Riot issued a survey to understand parents' opinions on book bans and the trustworthiness of libraries.[7]
