Great news – the FY2018 omnibus spending bill, including significant federal funding increases for our nation’s libraries, has been signed! It includes $9 million more in funding for IMLS, including $5.7 million for LSTA, and it restores $27 million for the IAL program!
Our work is never over. But, today, the persistence of library advocates has paid off for every single community in our nation. As ALA President Jim Neal said: “This is a time to honor the power of ALA’s advocacy.” #FundLibraries
