The Institute of Museum and Library Services provides necessary funding and administrative funding to museum and library programs. They promote American English literacy by reports and funding research on literacy development. They help with the digitization of local historical records, career training, and projects studying American industry, Founding Fathers, and more. IMLS supports each of the 50 states, D.C., and American territories with technology access and instructions aimed at American information services. With the National Park Service, they fund the preservation of artifacts. Without their funding libraries will take away our learning through books, programs, classes, and the internet, which is free!
