Happy to be taking a break from our current tensions by attending a screening for the "Downton Abbey" movie, which finds the Crawleys entering...the 1930s.

Horrific EO dropped last night! Below is an interactive map to see EXACTLY the libraries + museums which will be heavily impacted with the IMLS being defunded:
@exploratorium.bsky.social Science Center of MN; Nat'l Children's Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art....the list goes on and on.
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.β― As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nationβs 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.

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.
