#fundlibraries
According to the article, , there is evidence to suggest library usage increases student success and the overall academic experience (Brown & Malenfant, 2017).
Information literacy is an important tool to learn and utilize. But without libraries, opportunities for this would be far and in between. And without librarians and library staff, it wouldn’t exist at all.
This week was #NationalLibraryWeek. Celebrate by connecting with your library and the people who make it possible.

Federal Budget Includes Big Gains for Libraries
#FundLibraries advocacy succeeds at protecting vital programs
We have crossed the finish line for funding in 2019! The spending deal (H.R. 6157) has been signed. We are so grateful for all of the library advocates who made this possible!
When the new fiscal year begins, IMLS will have an additional $2 million towards grant programs and research. Grants funded through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) will continue to receive level funding. Libraries will also benefit from programs administered by the Dept of Education, many of which received increases that will open doors to #FundLibraries in schools.
