An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend IMLS, Protect our libraries and museums

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Libraries and museums play a vital role in our communities, fostering education, personal growth, and cultural enrichment. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is essential in supporting these invaluable public resources. Federal funding through IMLS enables libraries to provide critical services that advance literacy, academic success, workforce development, and access to information for all. From helping children cultivate a love of reading to offering resources for job seekers and providing safe spaces for communities during difficult times, libraries serve as cornerstones of our society. I urge you to protect federal funding for IMLS, ensuring that these vital institutions can continue to serve the public good and positively impact countless lives. Libraries and museums deserve our support as they shape minds, preserve our heritage, and contribute to the well-being of our communities.
