On December 3, the Institute of Museum and Library Services announced on its website that it “has reinstated all federal grants.” This action is the result of a permanent injunction ordered on November 21 by U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in State of Rhode Island v. Trump, the case brought by 21 states’ attorneys general to halt the dismantling of federal agencies including IMLS.

At the Urban Libraries Council, a spokesperson confirmed that all ULC members and allied organizations had their funding reinstated, and that ULC’s Safe Routes to Libraries initiative, modeled on the Safe Routes to School transportation program, will be able to proceed. ULC president and CEO Brooks Rainwater welcomed the positive news for “libraries, museums, and the groups that work every day to support them.

Though the ruling may still face appeal, we remain hopeful and steadfast in our support of IMLS.”
