ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.
In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.
"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month.

Brought cookies to a @berkeleyca.gov National Night Out tonight on Curtis. Had an excellent hot dog and other snacks. Got to meet cool members of the Fire Department, who brought their truck for the kiddos to explore. My neighbors rock! So glad for this opportunity to meet more of them.

Jizo did GREAT on our recent float down the Sacramento River. First time on a boat, first time camping - he aced both. Guarded the campsite like a champ and kept mum when the coyotes howled in the middle of the night. Smart dog. I hit the jackpot with this fella.

Will tariffs impact book printing?
It's the private equity, actually
Smart, helpful post from bsky.app/profile/atru... re: how tariffs will affect publishing, and why we need more competition in the POD space. No, the domestic printing industry is not poised for a comeback.
