Court Halts Dismantling of IMLS in ALA Lawsuit

ALA President Cindy Hohl said, “The immediate halt to the gutting of IMLS is a win for America’s libraries and the millions of Americans who rely on them. ALA is encouraged that the court recognizes the immediacy of the need for IMLS and library services at risk. The temporary restraining order will stop the dismantling of IMLS while the court considers the merits in this case.”
