Can you "Help a Library Worker Out"? The EveryLibrary Institute is fundraising to support library workers, librarians, and staff who are facing unexpected financial difficulties because of the Coronavirus economic slowdown. As a national library 501c3 non-profit organization, the EveryLibrary Institute is in a unique position to quickly bring together donors from across the country and make grants to library workers who are part of our library family.

Your tax-deductible donation will be bundled-up and will go to qualified library workers, librarians, and staff from public, school, and academic libraries who need help with household expenses and other needs. We are focusing on library workers, librarians, and library staff who have an urgent financial need. The size of our grants will depend on how much money can be raised. These grants to individuals and families will be "unrestricted" and will not have a requirement to be paid back.
Who is eligible to receive a "Help a Library Worker Out" grant?
- Individual library workers, staff, or librarians who have lost wages because of a Coronavirus-related layoff.
- Library workers, staff, and librarians who's spouse, significant other, co-parent, or housemate has lost wages or a job because of a Coronavirus-related layoff or reduction in hours.
We believe that it is important to come together now to help our colleagues in need. What defines that need will be identified by the individual but could include household expenses like groceries, child care, cell phone, internet, gas, insurance, and other bills. The application process is confidential and easy to complete.
