Underfunding of public goods like public libraries requires many to apply for grants to agencies like IMLS.
IMLS does important work that enables libraries, archives, and museums to serve us all.

This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
