Tell Your Members of Congress to Support Library Stabilization (ALA)
Libraries are being left behind in Congress's pandemic response. When libraries are left behind, our communities are left behind. We need you to take action and urge Congress to provide emergency relief for libraries.
There is currently no dedicated support for America's libraries in new COVID-19 relief packages - though healthcare, small businesses, and numerous other sectors have been included. Representative Andy Levin (D-MI) and Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) are sponsoring legislation calling for $2 billion in emergency recovery funding for America's libraries through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) The Library Stabilization Fund Act would allow libraries across the country to retain staff, maintain services, and safely keep communities connected and informed.
Urge your Senators and Representative to cosponsor this legislation and keep #LibrariesStrong.
