Show Up for Our Libraries

CARLI urges you to explore the American Library Association Show Up for Our Libraries information and make your voice heard by contacting your members of Congress.

When you do, consider:

1. Sharing your personal experiences with libraries.
2. Highlighting how libraries have made a meaningful difference in students’ lives and their growth as professionals.
3. Advocating for the importance of supporting an educated future generation.

It’s important to remember that the elimination of IMLS jeopardizes:

1. The only source of federal funding solely dedicated to supporting museums and libraries.
2. The transformative programs and services these organizations provide.

Your voice can help protect these vital resources and ensure libraries continue to thrive.
