President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders. Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...
ALA response to White House assault on IMLS
To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities. 
As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk. 📚 Learn what you can do to help: ilovelibraries.org/article/trum...

It’s Kindness Week at school as organized by a wonderful K educator, her students and fellow team members. One featured act of kindness is to give compliments. This may be the best compliment I have ever received from a student. ❤️#Kindness

“Ontario has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year. Today, classrooms across Ontario have 4,990 fewer educators.” A manufactured crisis right out of the Con playbook. Don’t give Doug 4 more years to keep destroying public ed. #OntEd #OnPoli #EduSky

READING ALOUD CHANGES CHILDREN'S LIVES FOREVER! Just 10 minutes a day can be enough to help them find the love of books, and become lifelong readers. So whatever else you do, always find the time to read aloud – and the more you do, the better! #literacy #reading #books
