On March 14, 2025, Executive Order 14238, “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy,” called for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
RAILS is spotlighting libraries and institutions in Illinois that have received IMLS grant money and sharing how they used those funds. These posts are featured in our IMLS Stories series.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the impact of IMLS funding and to encourage heightened advocacy moving forward.
