Texas Museums Together has put together a toolkit to help build support for museums. It can be used by museums across the country.
Did I mention it's free? So there is no excuse not to use it.

GLAM Fam we need to save the Institute of Museum & Library Services! They fund new exhibits, interlibrary loans & many other things. Currently, the funding bill only has enough money for IMLS to permanently close. Obviously, we don't want that to happen.

Why fund libraries when we can just keep producing adults who think '1984' is an instruction manual? #DefundIgnorance #ReadorRepeatHistory #LibrariesAreForEveryone #LibrariesMatter

Those bootstraps some folx are obsessed with telling others to pull themselves up by? Public libraries make that more possible. Sorry to see this amazing woman out of a job. #SaveIMLS #PublicLibraries

A Federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the IMLS evisceration
ALA argues that firing 85% of staff and freezing the processing of grants and calling it a "restructuring" is garbage, and the court seems to agree.

Blue postcard reading LOSERS ATTACK OUR LIBRARIES FIGHT FOR LIBRARIANS
From my State Librarian: "[we] received a notice [yesterday] from IMLS for a partial 2025 Grants to States award" My dept thinks they will get the full amount allotted to them for 2025.
Did all the states got these notices, or just the 20 which sued?

Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy. They serve the public by providing equitable access to information. People who cannot read, who do not read, who aren’t allowed to read, are no longer free.

“The @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social said funding cuts mean cuts to services, hours of operations, and in more rural areas, some libraries may be forced to close entirely.”

The day-to-day work of frontline library staff can be so joyful... and also so heartbreaking. NO ONE sees societal cracks like library workers. I wish we got more pay, more resources, and more respect. Join your library board or Friends Group TODAY #PublicLibraries #saveIMLS
