This is the LAST CHANCE to tell Congress to #FundLibraries. We need you to make your voice heard TODAY. Letters in Congress in support of library funding are about to close.

Call your Senators and urge them to fund libraries in next year's budget: bit.ly/Call2FundLibraries #ForOurLibraries

America’s public libraries call for Congress to stand up for the Institute of Museum and Library Services—Read PLA, ARSL, & ULC's joint statement here: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...

#ForOurLibraries #FundLibraries
Blue background with text, "America's public libraries call for Congress to stand up for the Institute of Museum and Libraries services. As the organizations that collectively represent public libraries in the United States, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries, the Public Library Association, and the Urban Libraries Council oppose the Executive Order calling for the gutting of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which will have disastrous consequences for America’s public libraries and their patrons across the country. We call on members of Congress to affirm the value of these community pillars by pushing the White House to rescind this order." Images of ARSL, PLA, and ULC logos
