We will know more (by) Feb 3rd. State libraries are asking IMLS for all of the funds they are owed now (for current LSTA grants etc). IMLS and LSTA grant workers should continue their work until more info arrives.

This means no money to IMLS for libraries, museums and archives. State libraries depend on the Institute of Museum & Library Services “grants to states” for all LSTA local grants. We need this funding to provide library service.

FYI, the American Library Association made a post on libraries and immigration enforcement. One takeaway: law enforcement/ICE needs a warrant to see patron records. The exception is for employment verification - they can request I-9 forms w/o a warrant. Read more at www.oif.ala.org/libraries-an...

Today is a great day to buy books by trans and nonbinary writers. If you are a trans or nonbinary horror creator who feels safe doing so, go ahead and share links to your work or the best way to support your work.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
