I am a grandchild of grandparents who were forbidden from getting library cards, who didn't have libraries they could visit. We celebrate libraries, celebrate one another. We celebrate togetherness ✨
We can't keep moving backwards 💔
Our only hope is marching forward, together 💛

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Yes! Get a library card. Use it at least once per month. Stop into the building if you walk by. Follow and interact on social media. Call your legislators. Keep your library strong for your community!
Libraries are vital, providing access to information, technology, and learning. Cutting IMLS funding threatens these services, especially in underserved areas. Library funding isn’t political—it’s an investment in education, opportunity, and civic engagement. #LibraryLove #ForOurLibraries ala.org
