An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend and protect vital library funding!

18 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The White House's plan to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services threatens vital programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Libraries provide essential resources like early literacy initiatives, internet access, job assistance, accessibility accommodations, STEM education, and support for entrepreneurs. Cutting off this modest federal funding equating to just 0.003% of the budget would disproportionately impact rural and underserved communities. Libraries are invaluable community hubs that foster learning, enrichment, and opportunity. Understand their importance, and advocate for continued federal support to preserve these pillars of education and uplift every citizen's potential for advancement.
