Missoula County floored by library commission’s fears of ‘Marxist lesbian’ ALA president

Lee said the state library commission’s decision to leave the ALA will have an outsized impact on rural and tribal libraries, and in areas where information about the outside world is already limited. The national organization also gives money to states to improve and expand their libraries and access to information.

The State Library Commission’s decision to leave the ALA forfeits that revenue.

“For example, one tribal library received $10,000 from ALA through the State Library Commission for broadband access,” Lee said. “So that library wouldn’t have access to that funding. It’s literal access to information that will be disrupted by this decision.”
