Support IMLS

To: Sen. Durbin, Sen. Duckworth, Rep. Miller

From: A constituent in Decatur, IL

April 1

congress I’m a constituent from Decatur, Illinois and I’m calling to urge you to support libraries and protect the Institute of Museum and Library Services from being dismantled. On March 14, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate IMLS. If this order is allowed to stand, it will hurt millions of Americans who rely on our libraries. Library funding uses a tiny percentage of the annual federal budget, and yet IMLS makes a real difference for Americans every day. Libraries provide classes for jobseekers, services for people with disabilities, library delivery for older Americans, and so much more. The president’s executive order puts these services at risk. I urge you to overturn the executive order and continue funding for IMLS in the next fiscal year.
