Good Morning All,
As you know, ALA and library advocates have been working to preserve funding for federal libraries in the face of the administration’s proposed eliminations. We are approaching a critical juncture this month, as both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are expected to introduce their versions of the funding bills for Fiscal Year 2019. These key Congressional committees will make decisions about which programs will receive funding – including library programs like the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program.
Senator Blunt, serves on the subcommittee that will decide the level of funding these programs receive next year. While the Senator is a big supporter of libraries, he still needs to hear from us about the importance of federal funding for libraries.
ALA, is asking us to call Senator Blunt tomorrow (Thursday, June 14), at (202) 224-5721 and say:
I am a member of the Missouri Library Association and library supporter, calling about the Labor-H Appropriations bill.
Please support Missouri’s libraries by preserving funding for the Library Services and Technology Act and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program.
Full funding protects $3 million for libraries in our state. Those funds provide library services to children, families, veterans, small businesses, job seekers, and many others.
Please support at least $189 million for LSTA and $27 million for IAL.
They feel, with each state calling their Senator together on the same day, we make the biggest impact on Capitol Hill. Please take five minutes to call tomorrow – and help protect over $210 million that strengthens America’s libraries.
With our support last year, we were able to assist in increased funding for LSTA and protected IAL funding, even though the White House called to eliminate them. But each year is a new year, and we have to continue to show up for our libraries. Senator Blunt is a critical vote for libraries nationwide – so please call.
Thank you.
