This article is a bit misleading, with the information that IMLS will be "eliminated." The order actually states that non-statutory components and functions of this and other agencies shall be eliminated.

Please think about the harm that this will do to our very important libraries and all the people it helps. It's not just book lending but so much more.

So what does that mean? I am not disagreeing with you, but what does it mean for the 'non-statutory components and functions" to be eliminated?

"First Last" It is not misleading, it quotes the actual wording: "the Executive Order calls for the “non-statutory components and functions” of the affected agencies to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”"

Very informative. Thank you. I do agree that it is a bit misleading. Though some factual details of the order are laid out, the first sentence of the article itself implies IMLS is being cut in its entirety.

Thank you so much for writing this. IMLS is a treasure. I think one of your stats got a little garbled in translation. You said "used by more than 1.2 billion people each year." and the ALA's statement says "more than 1.2 billion in-person patron visits every year" which I think means some of those are one patron visiting multiple times. As popular as libraries are in the US, and they are VERY popular, I don't think they attract 3x the population of the country. Thanks again.
