important milestones. With over 60 library campaigns supported and 45
wins, we can proudly say we have helped over secure over $200 million in
stable tax funding for those libraries. We grew our social media reach
by 10 times in 2016 and are now able to communicate directly and
effectively with over 100,000 Americans through our </span><span style="font-weight:400">Facebook</span><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><span style="font-weight:400">Twitter</span><span style="font-weight:400"> feeds. Our key strategic initiative was launching our Action platform at </span><span style="font-weight:400"><a href="http://action.everylibrary.org" target="_blank">action.everylibrary.org</a></span><span style="font-weight:400">.
This allows us to create and field petition drives and other
calls-to-action that have supported individual librarians and the future
of the entire library industry. In its first 11 months, hundreds of
thousands of people from all walks of life and in all 50 states
responded to one of our 16 actions. Our wo</span><span style="font-weight:400">rk continues to be pro-bono for </span><span style="font-weight:400">the
libraries and local YES committees we support because of our robust
donor support. We are pleased to report adding 8 new sustaining
corporate donors and renewing the majority of legacy vendor donors. Our
average personal donation held steady at $48 per year and hundreds of
new individual donors signed on as recurring donors at a $7.45 average
monthly rate.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Download the PDF here</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400"><a href="http://everylibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/EveryLibrary-2016-Annual-Report.pdf" target="_blank">http://everylibrary.org/wp-<wbr>content/uploads/2017/01/<wbr>EveryLibrary-2016-Annual-<wbr>Report.pdf</a><br></span></p><span style="font-weight:400">Patrick Sweeney</span><br><span style="font-weight:400">EveryLibrary</span><br><span style="font-weight:400">Political Director</span></div></div>
