YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump’s latest executive order just went into effect, and it’s a devastating blow to libraries, museums, and communities across the country. The order eliminates the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the only federal agency dedicated to funding and supporting libraries and museums.
In this episode, we break down:
📌 What IMLS does and why it matters
📌 How this executive order will impact public and academic libraries
📌 The broader implications for education, access to information, and community resources
📌 What librarians, educators, and citizens can do to fight back
This move is part of a larger pattern of attacks on public institutions and information access. Libraries have long been at the forefront of democracy—so what happens when the federal government cuts off support?
Join us as we unpack the politics behind this decision and consider its implications for the future of libraries and museums in America.
