agency dedicated to supporting library services in all communities. I am writing to you to reverse the March 14 executive order that seeks to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the only federal IMLS funding enables libraries to provide critical resources for students, families, veterans, small businesses, job seekers, individuals with disabiliti es, and seniors. Despite accounting for just 0.003% of the federal budget, these services are offered at no cost and without partisan influence. Eliminat ing IMLS would have severe and lasting consequences for millions. n of that Congressional decision to ensure universal access to library resources. In 2018, Congress reauthorized IMLS with overwhelming bipartisan support, and President Trump signed it into law. The March 14 order is a direct rejectio I strongly oppose efforts to eliminate IMLS and urge Congress to overturn the executive order while maintaining at least level funding in fiscal year 2026. listen to your constituents. Libraries are essential to all communities. Everyone deserves access to a fully funded library. Hoosiers are counting on you to do what is right. Please
