Mission Statement 

Libraries are essential to increasing civic engagement and sustaining democracy. The VoteLibraries initiative from the EveryLibrary Institute is designed to assist libraries in their mission to ensure that all citizens who want to vote are registered, informed, and empowered to access the ballot. 

Through our VoteLibraries initiative, the EveryLibrary Institute will help equip libraries in communities and on campuses with the skills, tools, and resources they need to host robust non-partisan voter information and election support programs in 2024 and beyond. From our experience with library ballot campaigns and Libraries2020 and Libraries2022, partnerships with other national organizations, and leadership-level participation on projects like National Voter Registration Day, we are eager to support libraries as they create new pathways to civic engagement.
