IMLS costs taxpayers about 75 cents per person per year, to fund library programs that help everyone: Internet at libraries, children's literacy programs, talking books for the visually/physically disabled, and much more.

They put the entire IMLS staff on leave. One thing the agency does is provide infrastructure or funding for many public libraries and tribal libraries to connect to the internet. In 50 states! It's gonna suck when kids can't do homework, adults can't apply for jobs, and seniors don't get services.

With < 100 employees & a budget that accounts for just 0.0046% of the federal budget, IMLS still manages to deliver meaningful impact across the nation. Eliminating it does nothing to reduce 'the elements of the Federal bureaucracy'—it’s simply a war on culture. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/a...

IMLS has been shut down and staff put on administrative leave. “Employees were required to turn in all government property prior to exiting the building, and email accounts are being disabled today. Are our grants on hold? Who knows? #museum federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...
