Eliminating IMLS would harm ALL Americans who rely on library programs and services, from summer reading programs to library delivery services for older Americans. #ForOurLibraries #FundLibraries

Late Friday night, President Trump issued an executive order attempting to dismantle the institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) - the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services. This order would harm communities across the country. Millions of people rely on library services and programs supported by IMLS.
