The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

Call, email, send a letter, visit their offices...our federal legislators (and our state legislators) need to know the importance of IMLS funding. In Michigan - Inter-library loan, valued databases, training opportunities, travel stipends -will cease to exist if IMLS is dismantled.
🚨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.

Everyone who works for a Maoist cadre factory should read 'Lower Ed.' It will help you understand what the Trump administration is trying to transform higher ed into, if not destroying it completely.
One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.
