Keeping Up With EveryLibrary
|
|
by Brandi Scardilli
|
|
When I first profiled EveryLibrary in 2014, founder John Chrastka told me, "One of the core parts of our democracy is that people can get together and campaign for a candidate or for an issue. The library ballot initiative, the measures before the voters on Election Day, is certainly one of those things that the public can rally around." This approach to advocacy now enables EveryLibrary to help libraries rally voters to their cause throughout the year.

Opening the Book on National Reading Month
|
|
by Anthony Aycock
|
|
The organization Reading Is Fundamental reminds us that "25 million children in the U.S. cannot read proficiently, which prevents them from achieving success in school, participating in all areas of life, and realizing their dreams." These days, reading is also an act of war, an attack on right- and left-wing censors who seek to curtail access to information. Here are some of the best sites devoted to books and reading.
