SAA Supports Library Stabilization Fund Act

July 6, 2020—SAA has signed on in support of an ALA-led legislative initiative—the Library Stabilization Fund Act—that would establish a $2 billion fund to address financial losses and bolster library services, with priority to the hardest-hit communities. The fund would be administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The bill was introduced on July 2 by Senator Jack Reed (RI) and Representative Andy Levin (MI-9), with some three dozen bipartisan cosponsors.

The funding would provide:

  • $1.7 billion to be distributed to local libraries through state library agencies based on state population, with a minimum of $10 million to each state.
  • $45 million in formula grants to Tribal libraries.
  • $200 million in competitive grants to strengthen library services to communities affected by COVID-19.
  • $40 million for IMLS to administer grants and conduct research and data collection related to the impact of COVID-19.

The funds would keep nearly 370,000 library workers on the job, defray costs related to safe re-opening, and support a range of library services to millions of patrons, including high-speed internet access and digital literacy training.

SAA strongly encourages all archivists to reach out to your Members of Congress in support of the LSFA!

Re: Multiplayer issue

Really valuable support for libraries at a time when stable funding matters most for staff, access, and community services. On a different note, if anyone is also interested in quality ceramic production, Ceramic Manufacturer for Tableware & Decorative Ceramics is a good resource.

Digital tools for archivists

As an archivist, I find it valuable to stay updated on industry news and resources. Tools that aggregate information from multiple sources into a single dashboard can save a lot of time. For example, kepo allows you to turn webpages and RSS feeds into live desktop widgets, making it easy to monitor SAA updates and other archival content without switching tabs.
