Everybody's Libraries<p><strong>Support the IMLS</strong></p><p>If you’ve found useful the many mid-20th century <a href="https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/serials.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">serials</a> that are now freely readable online through <a href="https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Online Books Page</a>, you can thank the <a href="https://www.imls.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Institute of Museum and Library Services</a>. The IMLS (as it’s generally known) funded the completion in 2018 of a <a href="https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/firstperiod.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">survey of copyrights</a> I led for serials published before 1950. The completed survey made it possible for the first time to quickly ascertain the public domain status of decades of serials. It also laid the groundwork for our bigger <a href="https://everybodyslibraries.com/2024/08/13/milestones-for-the-deep-backfile-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Deep Backfile project</a> that now documents rights and free online availability for well over 10,000 serials. I’d say that’s a pretty good return on a $25,000 IMLS investment.</p><p>The IMLS has made that kind of investment many times over, with libraries and museums across all 50 states. The IMLS makes a lot of mostly modest grants for projects and programs that make a big difference in the communities libraries and museums serve. You can read about <a href="https://theconversation.com/trump-administration-seeks-to-starve-libraries-and-museums-of-funding-by-shuttering-this-little-known-agency-252455" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a sampling of them</a> in Devon Akmon’s recent Conversation article. Or you can ask your local librarian or museum curator. They may tell you how the IMLS supports them providing access to information online, promoting literacy, preserving unique parts of our country’s cultural heritage, and many other functions. They do it with <a href="https://www.imls.gov/sites/default/files/2024-05/imls-budget-table-fy-2023-2025.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a budget</a> that requires less than $1 per American per year. It’s hard to imagine a more efficient use of government funds.</p><p>Despite its efficiency, the IMLS has been a recurrent target for elimination. The first Trump administration <a href="https://www.imls.gov/news/institute-museum-and-library-services-issues-statement-presidents-proposed-fy-18-budget" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">proposed eliminating the IMLS</a> starting with its first budget request. But Congress listened to its constituents and continued to fund it. This time, however, Trump has tried to shut it down on his own, without involving Congress. He <a href="https://www.ala.org/faq-executive-order-targeting-imls" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">issued an executive order</a> for IMLS’s activities to be “eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law”, aiming to “effectuate an expected termination” of the agency. He also <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/03/20/nx-s1-5335600/library-museum-funding-doge-sonderling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">appointed a new acting director</a> who’s pledged to act “in lockstep with this Administration” to carry out the president’s wishes.</p><p>So far, Trump has been unable to completely shut down the organization, as he has managed with some other agencies. When IMLS remote staffers got word that the new acting director and some of Elon Musk’s DOGE workers were going to come to the IMLS office last Thursday, they reported to the office in person, many of them dressed in formal (or funereal) black. Faced with more people than DOGE expected, <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/doge-imls-institute-museum-library-services-2623286" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an anonymous staffer related that</a> “instead of laying everybody off immediately they left the building, because they didn’t want to create a scene with us there. Otherwise, they would have locked the doors and taken over our systems and sent a mass notification out to everyone.”</p><p>As I write this, IMLS is still operating. But in the next week, the new acting director may try to cut off its funding to libraries and museums. Or, he could try to make libraries and museums receiving funds to change their programs and collection policies to conform to his preferences, or Trump’s. The acting director has already issued a <a href="https://www.imls.gov/news/keith-e-sonderling-sworn-acting-director-institute-museum-and-library-services" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">press release</a> expressing his intent to”restore focus on patriotism”. And the president has not been hesitant to cut funding to institutions to make them change their programs to his liking, as some <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03/21/columbia-to-acquiesce-to-trump-administrations-demands-amid-federal-funding-threats/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">have now agreed to</a>.</p><p>But right now, there’s still time for us who value libraries and museums to make our voices heard. We can tell our lawmakers that the IMLS should continue to be fully supported, and should support all the libraries and museums whose diverse programs and collections help make our country great.
