The proposed federal budget will completely cut funding for The Institute of Museum and Library Service (IMLS) and its grant program, The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Public libraries, school libraries, and cultural institutions across the nation depend on IMLS and the LSTA grants to provide additional financial support for programs, library materials, and technology.
On the state level, the following services to Alabama public libraries will be cut or severely curtailed:
Homework Alabama
Learning Express
Services to the blind and Physically Impaired
Ancestry.com Library Edition
Chilton Auto Repair Online Manuals
Statewide Summer Reading Program
Technical Support to Public Libraries.
