An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Support Public Libraries!

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to you today to express my support for federal library funding and stand against President Trump's Executive Order against the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). I believe the IMLS provides important support for the services and sustainability of local libraries and museums. IMLS grants bridge funding gaps in local libraries and museums across the country, allowing those institutions to better serve their communities. IMLS funds target each community's unique needs, such as improving internet access to rural areas, supporting tribal libraries, ensuring libraries can offer interlibrary loan, programs for Veterans, businesses, and entrepreneurs and so much more. I would love to see you support funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services to ensure these programs can continue to benefit communities across the country. Please do what is right and support public libraries for all. Thank you for your time.
