Following the Trump Administration's disastrous decision to pause most federal grants and loans, ALA has put out a call to library workers, patrons, and advocates across the country to share their library story. What would be at stake in your community with federal funding for libraries? What would you lose without long-term support for your local library? https://airtable.com/appTIEEt9RjDbjmv8/paglDQdgAlJbHvKVR/form
“Our call is not a knee-jerk response to imminent threats. We must face whatever threats come our way by showing up together – library workers and public supporters in our communities – to advocate for our patrons, our profession and our core values.”
