'It's being killed': Federal grant termination hits SnoCo libraries

EVERETT — Snohomish County libraries could see a reduction in programs after a federal agency terminated a $3.9 million grant to Washington state on Wednesday.

Each year, the Washington State Library receives funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Grants to States program, funding appropriated by Congress.

On Wednesday, Keith Sonderling, acting director of Institute of Museum and Library Services, sent a letter to the Washington Secretary of State’s office saying that grant had been terminated. The grant was “unfortunately inconsistent with IMLS’ priorities,” Sonderling wrote.

“We wish you well,” he added at the end of the letter.

Libraries are too woke, I guess.

That's the sort of efficiency Trump had in mind when he created DOGE.
