| 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. |
