The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) provides critical funding that supports educational programs and resources at museums across the country. Museums play a vital role in sparking curiosity and lifelong learning, especially for children and families. Defunding IMLS would deprive communities of these invaluable institutions that foster discovery, preserve cultural heritage, and enrich our understanding of the world around us. Maintaining robust investment in IMLS is essential to ensure museums can continue serving as trusted sources of knowledge and inspiration for all. This prioritization of museums upholds our shared commitment to accessible education and the intellectual enrichment of society.
