An Open Letter

To: Rep. Scalise, Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Cassidy

From: A verified voter in Mandeville, LA

April 7

Happy Right to Read Day.  I urge you to overturn the President’s March 14 executive order that aims to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services in communities nationwide. IMLS provides critical support to students, families, veterans, small businesses, job seekers, individuals with disabilities, and seniors. Libraries operate on just 0.003% of the federal budget, offering non-partisan, no-cost services that are essential to public access to information. In 2018, Congress reaffirmed the importance of IMLS by passing its reauthorization with bipartisan backing, and President Trump signed it into law. The executive order disregards this commitment to ensuring library access.
