Dark blue background with white text reading 'WHITE HOUSE "CUTTING OFF OPPORTUNITY" FOR AMERICANS AS ADMINISTRATION CUTS IMLS STAFF'. At the bottom are the American Library Association logo in red on the left and a 'SHOW UP FOR OUR LIBRARIES' call to action with a book and flag icon on the right.
Dark blue background featuring a quote from ALA President Cindy Hohl explaining how libraries provide opportunity for communities, stating that cutting federal support cuts opportunity for Americans economically, culturally, professionally and socially. The text explains that IMLS was created with bipartisan support and how staff reductions would undermine its mission. The quote ends with ALA pledging support to IMLS staff. The image includes the ALA logo and 'SHOW UP FOR OUR LIBRARIES' call to action at the bottom.
Heartbreaking news: The entire staff at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)βabout 70 peopleβhas been placed on administrative leave. The IMLS is the federal agency responsible for library funding, and this move puts widely used library services like MeLCat and MeL at risk.
