I started a PD workshop series on assessment of library impact on student success—*literally* supporting efficiency and productivity. The workshop lost its IMLS funding on the 1st day of instruction. The cuts are indiscriminate, shortsighted, and damaging to the very cause touted for the cuts.

We can’t let this stand.
