Please take a moment today to contact your members of Congress and express concerns about potential indiscriminate staffing cuts at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). As a small but vital agency, IMLS plays a critical role in supporting museums and libraries nationwide. Drastic staffing cuts would severely weaken its ability to fulfill its mission and support our sector.

Beyond the administration’s buyout for federal employees, there is growing concern that further indiscriminate staff reductions could disproportionately impact agencies like IMLS. It is essential that IMLS retains the authority to manage its own staffing decisions to continue serving communities effectively.

Please reach out to your representatives today—via email or phone—and urge them to protect IMLS from harmful staffing cuts.

Thank you for your advocacy and support.
