More from ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl: "By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially."

Read our full statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...

White House "cutting off opportunity" for Americans as administration cuts IMLS staff. American Library Association, Show Up for Our Libraries. “Whether on a campus, in the neighborhood, on a military base or elsewhere, libraries mean opportunity for everyone in our communities. By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially. “Congress created IMLS by law, with bipartisan support. Republican and Democratic Presidents signed those laws, including President Trump in 2018. Any significant reductions to the IMLS’ small and talented workforce would undermine the agency’s ability to carry out that law. “To the dedicated staff of IMLS, you have the full support of ALA. We thank you for your service to America’s libraries. We are exploring all possible policy and legal responses to this order, and we promise to mobilize library supporters nationwide to return you to the vital work entrusted to you." ALA President Cindy Hohl

My heart is breaking for you, SoCal friends. I know so many kids will be out of school again this week due to the devastating wildfires, so I've pulled together a bunch of my virtual author visits & read-alouds. They'll be freely available for you all month. katemessner.com/read-alouds-...

Thank you @brianlarossa.com for offering to share codes with fellow creatives.
Just one of the things that I love most about the #kidlit community - it is filled with amazing talent, but also wonderfully kind people.

I like social media to engage with other creative people while getting to take in some lovely work and (hopefully) support other artists.

Learning about some great podcasts or fun shows is an added benefit. Makes long days in the studio feel less lonely.😊
