Fund Libraries - Tell Congress to invest in libraries. American Library Association, #FundLibraries
ATTENTION: Congressional appropriators are preparing next year's budget. We NEED to act.
Call your member of Congress and tell them to #FundLibraries in the federal budget. Our tool will tell you if your Rep or Senators are appropriators: bit.ly/CallApprops4Libraries
More: ala.org/fundlibraries
We continue to stand with our #IMLS colleagues and hope for the same outcome for #NEH and #NEA. "The Fiscal Year 2026 budget for federal agencies is still on deck." - it's not too late to contribute to this all-in effort to save our #libraries #arts and the #humanities.
