Save our libraries

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

From: A constituent in Chicago, IL

March 17

I am writing to you today to express my support for federal library funding and stand against President Trump's Executive Order against the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). I believe the IMLS provides important support for the services and sustainability of local libraries and museums. IMLS grants bridge funding gaps in local libraries and museums across the country, allowing those institutions to better serve their communities. IMLS funds target each community's unique needs, such as improving internet access to rural areas, supporting tribal libraries, ensuring libraries can offer interlibrary loan, programs for Veterans, businesses, and entrepreneurs and so much more. I would love to see you support funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services to ensure these programs can continue to benefit communities across the country.
