The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has put its staff on administrative leave following President Trump's executive order to reduce several federal agencies, impacting federal library funding. The IMLS supports various projects, including workforce training and programs for Native Americans. Advocacy groups warn that without federal support, important library services may be lost, especially affecting small and rural libraries. Concerns have emerged regarding the uncertainty of previously awarded grants and the potential termination of existing programs due to lack of administrative oversight.
When a public library which has growing demand for their online and digital materials is getting any kind of budget cuts, it drastically limits how they can further meet that demand.
