We knew this was bound to happen, but we should let the idiocy of others deter us. This is where we need to stand and step up more for libraries. Ignorance should not reign supreme here. #standupforlibraries #booksky 💙📚

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Libraries are much needed in our society. Governments trying to shut them down are trying to shut you down. They want you uneducated. #standupforlibraries

Dan Sullivan is back with SB536 which abolishes the Arkansas State Library in addition to the State Library Board. This action will negatively impact every library in the state. #arpx #StandUpforLibraries

Dear Congress,
Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️‍🩹

Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛

BREAKING: Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, issues a TRO blocking the Trump administration from "dissolv[ing]" the Institute of Museum and Library Services, placing any more employees on administrative leave, or terminating any grants in the coming days.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, et al., Plaintiffs, ^ KEITH SONDERLING, Acting Director, Institute of Museum and Library Services, et al., Defendants. Civil Case No. 25-1050 (RJL) MEMORANDUM ORDER May 1, 2025 [Dkt. #13] This matter initially came before the Court on plaintiff American Library Association's ("ALA") and plaintiff American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO's ("AFSCME") motion for a preliminary injunction ("PT"). See Pls.' PI Mot. [Dkt, #13]; Pls.' Mem. in Supp. of PI Mot. ("Pls.' PI Mem.") [Dkt. #13-11. Plaintiffs sought a decision on the PI by May 4, 2025, as defendants intend to execute a "mass termination of [Institute of Museum and Library Services] staff' on that day. Pls PI Mot. at 1. I. CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, the Court will GRANT IN PART plaintiffs' motion for a TRO. The Court will not, at this time, issue a TRO providing all of the relief sought by plaintiffs. Instead, the Court will issue a narrow TRO preserving the status quo as of this Order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that defendants Keith Sonderling, Institute of Museum and Library Services ("IMLS"), Amy Gleason, U.S. DOGE Service, U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, Russel Vought, and U.S. Office of Management and Budget (together, the 5 Case 1:25-cv-01050-RJL Document 36 Filed 05/01/25 Page 6 of 6 "agency defendants") shall not take any further actions to dissolve IMLS or its operations; it is further ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not place any additional IMLS staff on administrative leave; it is further ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not terminate the employment of any IMLS staff; it is further ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not further pause, cancel, or otherwise terminate IMLS grants or contracts or fail to fund such grants or contracts for reasons other than grantees' or contractors' non-compliance with applicable grant or contract terms; and it is further ORDERED that by May 6, 2025, the parties shall submit a joint status report (1) informing the Court whether the parties require any supplemental briefing on the preliminary injunction and, if so, proposing a briefing schedule; and (2) stating whether the parties consent to the Court extending this temporary restraining order until the Court issues a ruling on the preliminary injunction or the case is otherwise resolved. SO ORDERED. RICHARD J. LEON United States District Judge

My library will have to stop giving snacks to children in need and maybe even cancel the summer reading program that keeps kids engaged while out of school. Plus, we'll have to rework our children's book budget to compensate for the loss of grants. #SaveIMLS #StandUpForLibraries
