Protect and Fully Fund IMLS

To: Rep. Harris, Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks

From: A constituent in Havre De Grace, MD

March 20

The President's proposed budget for fiscal year 2025 eliminates federal funding for libraries through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This vital support sustains school, public, and tribal libraries across the country. Libraries are essential for education, literacy, and community resources. Without IMLS funding, many libraries would be forced to reduce services, cut staff, and limit access to books, databases, and technology for millions of Americans. This detrimental decision would disproportionately impact underserved communities that rely heavily on libraries. I urge you to protect IMLS funding and ensure all Americans continue to benefit from robust library systems that foster learning, self-improvement, and an informed citizenry.
