Support Libraries: Contact Your Legislators!

Dear Library Patrons,
​
We want to inform you about a recent executive order that could impact the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an essential federal agency that supports libraries across the nation.
This executive order directs a reduction in several government agencies, including IMLS. As a result, nearly all staff at IMLS have now been placed on administrative leave, leading to the suspension of all grant processing. This directly affects funding and resources that are crucial to libraries like ours.
We are committed to continuing to provide you with the best possible service, regardless of these potential changes. However, we need your help to ensure that libraries continue to receive the support they deserve.
We encourage you to contact your local legislator to express your support for IMLS and the vital role libraries play in communities. Your voice matters, and when legislators hear from constituents like you, they are more likely to take action that benefits us all.
​
Below, you will find a Library Advocacy 101 guide, which offers tips and suggestions for how you can effectively reach out to your legislators and make your voice heard.
You can find contact information for your legislator here. Your advocacy can make a real difference in ensuring that libraries remain a strong resource for everyone.
​
Thank you for your continued support. We will keep you updated on this matter as more information becomes available.
Warm regards,
Melissa Lopez
Library Director

Step 1: Identify Your Congressional Representatives
​Visit Congress.gov and enter your home address. This tool will provide the names and contact information for your state’s two senators and your district’s House representative.
​
Step 2: Send a Message to One of Your Representatives
Each representative’s website features a simple form for submitting your opinion. Keep your message clear and concise, and take action today.
​
Step 3: Continue by Sending Another Message Every Few Weeks
Rotate between your representatives, sending a message every few weeks. Over the course of a year, this approach ensures your voice is heard multiple times with minimal effort.
​
Practical Tips:
-
Keep it brief. Representatives are more likely to read short messages.
-
Focus on one issue. Clearly state the bill, Executive Order, or topic you are addressing.
-
Be respectful. Rude messages are often disregarded.
-
Make it personal. Share why the issue matters to you in a single sentence.
Why Your Voice Matters:
It’s easy to feel like one message won’t make a difference, but congressional offices track constituent feedback and use it to shape their priorities. Every message you send helps amplify public sentiment.
​
Message Template:
Dear [Senator *** or Representative ***],
I am concerned about [insert bill, executive order, or issue here].
I am [against/for] it.
This is important to me because [insert a single sentence here].
Thank you for your service to our country.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
​
Making an Impact with Phone Calls:
If you prefer to call, visit 5 Calls to find contact details for your senators and representative. The site also provides scripts to help you confidently express your stance.
​
Example Call Script:
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I’m a constituent from [YOUR CITY AND STATE] and I’m calling to urge [ SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE NAME ] to support libraries and protect the Institute of Museum and Library Services from being dismantled.
​
On March 14, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate I-M-L-S. If this order is allowed to stand, it will hurt millions of Americans who rely on our libraries.
​
Library funding uses a tiny percentage of the annual federal budget, and yet I-M-L-S makes a real difference for Americans every day. Libraries provide classes for jobseekers, services for people with disabilities, library delivery for older Americans, and so much more. The president’s executive order puts these services at risk.
​
I urge you to overturn the executive order and continue funding for I-M-L-S in the next fiscal year.
