TAKE ACTION! DEFEND IMLS!

If you are looking for a way to express your support for libraries, please take a moment to participate in NYLA’s call to action.

Dear NYLA Members,

On March 14, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order advancing elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). We are asking all members to take action! We have two Take Action campaigns we are asking all members to sign and share.

Our federal take action Demands that Congress act to defend IMLS now!

Our State level take action asks our legislators to protect NYS libraries by increasing funding.

Defend IMLS Now!

Protect Our Libraries – Increase State Funding Now!
