The Boston Public Library is the third public library in the country to join a growing movement called Books Unbanned. This initiative will give young people ages 13 to 26 across the United States who have felt the impact of book bans free access to the BPL’s digital collections.

The EveryLibrary Institute is a companion organization to EveryLibrary, the first national political action committee for libraries, it’s mission of research, training librarians, and programmatic support for libraries is closely aligned with EveryLibrary’s 501(c)4 mission of building voter support for libraries. The EveryLibrary Institute operates exclusively for educational and charitable purposes, including primarily research, writing, publishing and related activities concerning public, academic, and school libraries in the United States for the purpose of public education, strengthening the civic life of communities, bridging social and societal gaps, and for the future of the profession of librarianship.
