Unless the Utah State Board of Ed takes action by July 4th, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, will become 18th book permanently banned statewide in Utah. Please contact board members and ask them to overturn the ban and restore local control! letutahread.org/localcontrol

Tell our elected representatives that federal IMLS funding for libraries needs to be preserved! In 2024, IMLS provided nearly 2.3 million dollars to fund libraries services for Utahns. That means students, vets, jobseekers... Learn more and take action at: letutahread.org/saveimls

A new Executive Order is targeting the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS.) Could this impact Utahns? You bet! Hurlers some examples of programs that IMLS have funded to help Utahns and communities succeed and prosper: 1/x
