 This morning the United States Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and
Pensions (HELP) Committee reported from committee with unanimous consent,
Senate Bill 3984, the Museum and Library Services Act of 2010 to reauthorize
the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of
support by the Federal Government for the 123,000 libraries and 17,500
museums in the United States.



The next stop for S.3984 will be to have a vote on the Senate floor.  Please
call your two senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support S.3984 in
the lame duck session.

Also, this morning in the Senate HELP committee, the nomination of Susan
Hildreth to be the director of IMLS was favorably reported from committee.
Her nomination now will face the full Senate.  When you call your senators
please also urge them to support Ms. Hildreth’s nomination in this lame duck
session.
