Federal FY27 Budget Process Has Kicked Off

  • 1.  Federal FY27 Budget Process Has Kicked Off

    Posted an hour ago

    Hi, all. Sharing on behalf of the Public Policy and Advocacy Office:

    There's no shortage of surprises coming out of the U.S. Capitol these days. And while ALA's Public Policy and Advocacy office was on Capitol Hill with our advocates last week, we got wind of another surprise: U.S. House of Representative leaders have kicked off the first stage of the budget process for next year more than a month earlier than expected.

    Help us start the fiscal year 2027 (FY27) budget process off strong by urging your House Representative to sign letters in support of federal library funding! 

    Best,
    Betsy
