This morning, the White House released the budget proposal for FY 2019. It calls for the elimination of @US_IMLS, and approximately $183 million in direct funding to libraries through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). bit.ly/2ED9MV4 #FundLibraries
The proposal also calls for the elimination of Innovative Approaches to Literacy, a Dept of Education program. #FundLibraries
Congress has the final say on the FY 2019 budget - contact your Senators and Representative remind them that libraries play a vital role in our communities. Ask them to #FundLibraries and #SaveIMLS
These cuts would impact libraries across the country, putting programs that support innovation, lifelong learning, research, and access to information at risk.
The @ala_wo are still assessing the budget proposal to see what other programs are facing cuts. In the meantime, take advantage of our campaign resources at ala.org/fundlibraries. #FundLibraries #saveIMLS
