@5calls.org PLEASE put the impending closure of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) on your app under issues!
It will cut funds to libraries and museums. Our rural library currently receives funding for online encyclopedias and databases, in addition to interlibrary loan services.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
