The entire IMLS staff has been placed on administrative leave. America's museums, libraries, and communities are at risk of losing vital resources. We are in communication with partners and stakeholders to assess the sector's legal options. Full statement: aam-us.org/2025/03/31/aam-st…
ALT Today, the entire staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) was placed on administrative leave. This move, which continues to undermine the will of the American people, raises questions as to whether the agency will be able to fulfill its legal obligations to disperse congressionally appropriated funding.
