Summary
The Trump administration abruptly cut funding to the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which provides over $160 million annually to U.S. libraries. Elon Musk’s DOGE teams executed the cuts, immediately terminating dozens of state library grants.
Officials in California, Connecticut, and Washington were first notified, affecting programs that support rural and underserved communities.
Library leaders call the move “devastating.” Congressional Democrats and publishers condemned the decision, warning it could cause mass library closures.
I would suspect (just theorizing) you will see southern states and the more MAGA happy ones do exactly that.
Knowledge of any sort is seen as an affront to these people. Couples that libraries often present books that share different ideas.
