The IMLS is the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. The IMLS is the main federal source for innovative library programs that support early literacy, people trying to find work, and better community outcomes through libraries. If this library program is cut - along with NEA, NEH, and PBS as previously proposed - the impacts would be felt in small towns and in big city neighborhoods, in red and blue states alike. This is not a path to prosperity for Americans.
Sign the petition to preserve funding for IMLS, NEA, NEH, and PBS today
