On March 14, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate I-M-L-S. 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 I-M-L-S 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 I-M-L-S in the next fiscal year.
