No, not yet. Appropriations process for agencies like IMLS is completely separate from big murder bill that just passed.
For IMLS specifically, we'd learn more during the week of July 21 for the House's proposed LHHSE appropriations (which sets IMLS budget)

Libraries have lots of reasons to make their metadata widely and freely available.
As a practical matter, making it available for use means making it available for misuse, but that's nothing new for libraries - but we can certainly expect (and require) better of Google.

Easy enough to chalk up that particular "AI" Overview as being a correctable here - but there's now a question open that didn't use to be a real concern: at what point does it become counterproductive to libraries' interests to permit harvesting their catalogs by Google?

Bought one in March of 2023. Is OK as a Linux daily driver, but its battery lasted only ~18 months before it needed to be replaced. I ended up buying the replacement third-party; their quote was slow to come & expensive. Think I'll look elsewhere next time unless they stop reselling Clevo hardware.

No, no elephant: I think this particular fork reflects just a standard disagreement about project direction along with the sorts of governance disputes that are fairly common in forks.
This is mostly notable as inside baseball news for those who follow library open source in general.
