ALA = American Library Association
IMLS = Institute of Museum and Library Services
"An executive order issued by the Trump administration on Friday night, March 14, calls for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the nation’s only federal agency for America’s libraries.
ALA implores President Trump to reconsider this short-sighted decision. We encourage U.S. Congressmembers, Senators and decision makers at every level of government to visit the libraries that serve their constituents and urge the White House to spare the modest federal funding for America’s libraries. And we call on all Americans who value reading, learning, and enrichment to reach out to their elected leaders and Show Up For Our Libraries at library and school meetings, town halls, and everywhere decisions are made about libraries."
It's amazing what happens when people come together to champion community services.

Please sign on, #DurhamNC. We can't just expand #library hours without paying for more #librarians time. Especially given the extra load of dealing with right-wing lunatics these days.

I have been trying to follow up whats going on with The Internet Archive and i am fucking pissed that people are angry at the nazis for burning books but are supporting the continous attacks on a major public virtual library.
Will The Internet Archive be the next library of Alexandria that corporations will burn down just to profit?
Will we allow that?
The first thing the Nazis tried to take away from people wasn't their guns. It was their #books.
