ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Dear manager,
1. I found myself living in a shotgun shack
2. I found myself in another part of the world
3. I found myself behind the wheel of a large automobile
4. I found myself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
5. I asked myself, “Well, how did I get here?”

I’m so sorry
