I write to you in support for federal library funding and to ask you to stand against President Trump's Executive Order targeting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
IMLS provides important support for the services and sustainability of local libraries and museums. IMLS grants bridge funding gaps in local libraries and museums across the country, allowing those institutions to better serve their communities.
IMLS funds are geared towards each community's unique needs, such as improving internet access to rural areas, supporting tribal libraries, ensuring libraries can offer interlibrary loans, programs for Veterans, businesses, and entrepreneurs and so much more.
I ask you to support funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services to ensure these programs can continue to benefit communities here in our state and across the country.
