Knowledge Is Under Attack, But Library Advocates Are Fighting Back
Heated debates surrounding book bans, censorship, and the defunding of public libraries continue to make headlines. A new report by EveryLibrary details organizational efforts nationwide to defend the right to read, support sustainable library funding, and strengthen public access to information.
The group considers the work critical to combating what they consider the “Trump Project 2025 agenda” that has included “censorship, funding erosion, and unprecedented political interference.”
The nonprofit national organization’s Annual Impact Report outlines efforts to support local library ballot measures, campaigns to return books to shelves, and legislative activity tied to the right to read, while also documenting the broader policy and political environment affecting libraries nationwide.
