California libraries losing millions in funding after Trump terminates federal grant
Briefly

California libraries are set to face significant funding cuts following the Trump administration's latest budget proposals, which threaten crucial programs such as early literacy initiatives, workforce readiness, and continuing education. The California State Library announced a termination of a critical federal grant worth $3 million, which was previously allocated for various local libraries' services. This abrupt termination may severely impact low-income families and at-risk youth. The situation is exacerbated by internal turmoil within the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is responsible for distributing much of the federal support for libraries.
