Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.
The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.

There’s an origami animal reading a book, and they change the book every year. My fave 🤓
What’s your favorite model on the Museum’s Origami Tree? 🎄This year’s theme, Jumping for Joy, is a nod to turning the calendar page on the 2024 leap year. It celebrates the many animals with a particular prowess that sets them apart—hopping, pouncing, leaping!
