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.โ€ฏ
As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nationโ€™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.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

We need leaders, not kings! President Trump has seemingly given billionaire Elon Musk complete power to take a chainsaw to norms and institutions that protect our human rights.

The #Trump effect

Serbian police raided the premises of 3 prominent #USAID-supported #NGOs, as part of a probe into allegations of "abuse" of USAID funds in the country

This was a blatant act of intimidation & the latest in a persistent campaign by Serbian authorities to silence critical voices

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45ยฒ = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9ยฒ x 5ยฒ = 2025
40ยฒ + 20ยฒ + 5ยฒ = 2025
My favourite?
1ยณ+2ยณ+3ยณ+4ยณ+5ยณ+6ยณ+7ยณ+8ยณ+9ยณ = 2025
