</div>
<div>I submitted a story and thought I'd pass along.</div>

<div>I got my start in digital library land in 2005 on an IMLS grant at the Louisiana State Museum. It was a foot in the door when no other doors were opening and I've been forever grateful.</div>

<font face="Sans Serif" size="4">Like many others I am dismayed by the effort to end IMLS. I know IMLS matters to so many people. I put together the following site to collect and share stories of how "IMLS matters" to people. Please consider submitting a story.
