Trump administration seeks to starve libraries and museums of funding by shuttering this little-known agency The consequences of shutting down the Institute of Museum and Library Services would be particularly dire for smaller museums and rural museums.

The IMLS is more than a grantmaking entity – it is the only federal agency dedicated to sustaining the entire museum and library ecosystem in the United States.

There is a LOT of reporting on IMLS right now, but it's being done by people who know what it is. The DOE being dismantled is overshadowing this and that's being done INTENTIONALLY.

But anyway, DOGE is in the IMLS offices right now destroying it.

Say goodbye to interlibrary loans + more.

“It’s heartbreaking, what’s going on, and the feeling internally is awful,” former IRS accountant Chavi Schwarzbaum said Friday. “You just walk around, everyone’s crying, everyone’s devastated, people’s lives are upended.”

No one could have seen this coming: "Over the first three weeks of the second Trump presidency, a recurrent motif is that Trump does exactly what he said he would, and then people who backed him react with shock and dismay."
