On June 6, a federal judge denied a motion to block the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). ALA issued a statement about the ruling and vowed to continue the case and continue fighting for libraries in every state to receive promised funding. The statement also noted that on May 6, a federal district court in Rhode Island issued a preliminary injunction in a separate case, prohibiting IMLS from shutting down while that case is pending. That decision remains in effect.
