Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

Agreed.

I took this photo on the Teign Estuary in Devon in spring 2022. I thought I was just taking a photo of an attractive hole in an old tree. It was only when I got home and looked through my camera roll that I saw the leaping dog, who I'd caught perfectly framed, mid-leap, totally by chance. I remembered the dog immediately, because of what an annoying twat it had been.

ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.

In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.

"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month.

This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory!

In the NPR Music newsletter I point to the @npr.org Books We Love feature, where you can find thousands of recommended reads, and offer more music book suggestions. I focused on memoirs this year -- so many great ones! Here's what I recommended, you need to subscribe if you wanna read why tho: 1/

Good to see Omikron: The Nomad Soul is at the V+A. For the record (pun acknowledged), the video game did not beget the Hours album. The two projects ran parallel and leapfrogged, and David Bowie & I had started song writing together for Hours long before the game developers approached him/us. 🎵
