Librarians tend to do their homework, and they like following rules and procedures. Perhaps not the slam dunk MAGA folks thought this one would be.

More from ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl: "By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially."

White House "cutting off opportunity" for Americans as administration cuts IMLS staff. American Library Association, Show Up for Our Libraries. “Whether on a campus, in the neighborhood, on a military base or elsewhere, libraries mean opportunity for everyone in our communities. By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially. “Congress created IMLS by law, with bipartisan support. Republican and Democratic Presidents signed those laws, including President Trump in 2018. Any significant reductions to the IMLS’ small and talented workforce would undermine the agency’s ability to carry out that law. “To the dedicated staff of IMLS, you have the full support of ALA. We thank you for your service to America’s libraries. We are exploring all possible policy and legal responses to this order, and we promise to mobilize library supporters nationwide to return you to the vital work entrusted to you." ALA President Cindy Hohl

A picture of two dogs sitting on a brown couch. Both dogs are brown with white around their chests and noses. Their tongues are sticking out just a tiny bit.
