'2018 Election Night for Libraries' by John Chrastka
EveryLibrary has compiled a list of the elections for new or renewed library funding, building projects, and library governance that it has been tracking. Executive director John Chrastka writes that of the 66 elections with reportable information, “48 (72%) passed their measures; 13 (20%) failed in their attempt, including both statewide education measures; and 4 (6%) remain ‘too close to call’ as of this writing. These results look significantly less positive for libraries than the 2017 elections were and are more in line with recent averages.” For the most up-to-date reporting, follow @everylibrary and #votelibraries on Twitter.For more information and to view the unofficial list of elections’ outcomes, read the post.
