The Trump administration's proposed budget cuts threaten to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an independent federal agency that provides critical funding for libraries and museums across the country. Libraries and museums play a vital role in preserving our cultural heritage, promoting literacy, and providing educational resources to communities. Defunding the IMLS would jeopardize access to these invaluable public institutions, depriving millions of Americans of essential learning opportunities. I urge you to reject the proposed budget cuts and ensure continued funding for the IMLS, safeguarding these invaluable cultural and educational resources for all Americans.
