Write, email, call your legislators. Cuts to IMLS and State Library resources drastically affect local libraries. Like interlibrary loans? Say goodbye. Does your library receive LSTA grants to pay for technology that bridges the digital divide? Say goodbye to those. Protect your libraries.

This isn’t the first time he’s tried to take down libraries. He tried to defund IMLS every year during his previous administration.
