On March 14, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order that calls for the non-statutory components and functions of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to be eliminated. A reduction or elimination of the IMLS may result in a direct loss for thousands of KDL patrons and an even greater loss for smaller libraries that rely on IMLS-funded services to a greater extent. Changes to IMLS have not been disclosed yet, other than the general objectives stated in the Executive Order. Congress approved funding for IMLS through September 2025 in a Continuing Resolution on March 15, 2025. What remains to be seen is clarification of non-statutory components and functions. We at Kent District Library are watching closely so we can keep you informed.
