An Executive Order signed on March 14 proposes eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the nation’s only federal agency that supports our libraries. The IMLS funds Michigan’s MeL and MeLCat services, which enable statewide library users to borrow materials and access millions of digital resources from authoritative sources on education, medicine, business, and history. On March 31, its entire staff was placed on administrative leave.
