Protect our Libraries

I'm writing to urge you to oppose any efforts to dismantle or defund the Institute of Museum and Library Services. IMLS funding is essential for critical services, including summer reading programs, workforce readiness, early childhood development and literacy, services for veterans and the blind, rural and Tribal libraries, access to ebooks, and more. It also provides community grants that support local needs. This funding is vital for libraries to continue serving and strengthening our communities. Thank you for your time and consideration.
