Today, the Trump administration plans to release their full budget proposal for FY 2018. As expected, the proposal effectively eliminates federal library funding, including cutting the IMLS budget by 90%. You can read ALA’s statement here.
Ready to take action? Find out if your senators have signed the LSTA and IAL “Dear Appropriator” letters in support of federal library funding, and if not, give them a call today. There are talking points and background information available on our website or you can use the call script on 5calls.org.
It’s still National Library Week. You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow. Sometime this week, anyway. Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source of funding.
