        The American Library Association (ALA) praised today’s introduction of the Library Stabilization Fund Act, introduced in both chambers by Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representative Andy Levin (D-MI), respectively. The legislation would establish a $2 billion fund, administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, to address financial losses and bolster library services, with priority to the hardest-hit communities.

        Stabilization funding would support a range of library services to patrons, enabling libraries to:

        • Maintain core library services and keep nearly 370,000 library workers on the job
        • Purchase cleaning and PPE supplies and train staff for safe re-opening
        • Expand technology and services to keep millions of library users connected to the internet
        • Strengthen collections and programs to address needs such as remote learning, job skills, access to government services and early literacy
