Protect Library Funding - Reject the Executive Order Targeting IMLS

Late on Friday, March 14, President Trump issued an executive order attempting to dismantle the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Millions of people rely every day on library services and programs supported by IMLS. Now we need YOU to show up for our libraries. View ALA's action alert and contact your Congressmembers in support of IMLS here.
