Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.
Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.
