I'm forwarding this message as I am sure many in this community would like to share their thoughts on the American Library Association (ALA)'s statement upon news that all staff at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) were placed on administrative leave for an unknown length of time and, thus, all grants and contracts suspended and, ultimately likely to be cancelled. <https://www.ala.org/news/2025/03/ala-says-white-house-cutting-opportunity-americans-administration-cuts-imls-staff>
