<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In March, the Trump administration issued an Executive Order that would dismantle federal agencies created by Congress that collectively provide hundreds of millions of dollars for
programs in every state. As a result of this Executive Order, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) – one of the targeted agencies – has placed almost its entire staff on administrative leave and will cut hundreds of grants for state libraries
and museums. The lawsuit filed by Attorney General Nessel and the coalition seeks to stop the targeted destruction of the IMLS and two other agencies targeted in the administration’s EO that millions of Americans rely on, especially those in underserved communities.

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">“Once again, the President has signed an executive order that clearly oversteps the powers of his office, tramples the role of Congress in establishing and funding agencies, and commits
unnecessary and potentially irreparable harms to Michiganders,” said Nessel. “These agencies serve important roles and their destruction could reshape whole communities. The absolute vitality of local public and school libraries to our children's education
and development just cannot be overstated, in addition to the countless other benefits a local library provides.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Michigan received $4,788,124 under the IMLS Grants to States program in 2024, and anticipated receiving approximately $4,775,000 under the program in 2025. The $4.788 million in 2024
federal funding accounted for 75% of all funding to support statewide library services, resources, and support to Michigan libraries across the State and their users. These funds primarily supported statewide resources and programs that benefit school libraries,
public libraries, and academic libraries and all their users. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Per the State Librarian for the Library of Michigan, this Executive Order and consequent reduction in IMLS staff will result in their inability to administer financial awards and programs,
causing considerable harm to Michigan and the Library of Michigan, and significant harm upon tribal libraries, academic libraries, public libraries, and non-profits serving libraries throughout Michigan that receive support and competitive grants through IMLS.
Training resources for library staff offered by the State Library of Michigan will be greatly reduced, and as a result of this Executive Order, the Library of Michigan has already been forced to cancel a summer grant program primarily used to support small
and rural libraries. The program typically provides approximately 130-150 grants each year. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Michigan’s MeL and MeLCat programs are perhaps the most significantly and existentially imperiled by the attempted illegal teardown of the IMLS. MeLCat is the program that enables Michigan
residents to easily identify and request convenient, quick, and free delivery of materials from other participating Michigan libraries to their own library for pick up, loaning well over a million items a year between participating libraries. In Michigan,
368 out of 397 public libraries, and 52 out of 79 academic libraries, use MeLCat as an integral part of their daily circulation of library materials— in 2024, libraries shared 1,061,217 items, an average of 2,907 books a day, and Michigan residents accessed
19,236,855 articles and journals through the vital MeLCat program. This service is of particular importance to K-12 students and higher education students, and is used in every county of the state. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
