A Coalition of Library Stakeholders Fights for IMLS Funding in the Federal Budget
On June 1, 2026, ALA, the Association of Research Libraries, the American Alliance of Museums, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries, the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, EBSCO Information Services, EveryLibrary, the Society of American Archivists, and the Urban Libraries Council jointly “called on Congress to expand federal funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in its fiscal year (FY) 2027 appropriations bills, which are scheduled for markup by a House Appropriations Subcommittee later this week.” The organizations submitted a coalition letter to the members of the House and Senate Appropriations Labor-Health and Human Services-Education and Related Agencies Subcommittees, who will decide funding levels for IMLS. It states, in part: “Museums, libraries, and archives form the bedrock of our nation and communities, long serving as gateways to knowledge, literacy, workforce skills, culture, and civic life in uniquely American ways. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we should in turn celebrate and embrace the enduring, intrinsic contributions of these institutions to American history, society, and our economy.” For more information, read the press release.
