T-shirts sales will support Wichita Public Library
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Wichita Public Library has something new planned for National Library Week. Patrons can buy T-shirts to support the library. It comes at a critical time. The Wichita Public Library is concerned that one of President Donald Trump's Executive Orders will have disastrous consequences for libraries and communities. The order called for eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which funds 30% of the State Library of Kansas' budget. The funding is also crucial for the technology that links library resources across the state. 'Eliminating these funds will prevent residents from accessing the critical information they seek in order to thrive,' the library said in a news release. The president's directive is not the reason for the T-shirt sale. Spanish cannon vanishes from Wichita war memorial, found damaged 'The plan was already in the works, but the Executive Order makes the issue of funding more pressing than ever before,' David Garcia, Wichita Public Library, senior communications specialist, said. The Friends of the Wichita Public Library will begin selling the library-themed shirts at the Used Book Sale on Saturday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Advanced Learning Library, 711 W. 2nd Street. Adult sizes are $25 and youth sizes are $20. If you miss the sale, you can still get a T-shirt. They will be permanently available at the Used Bookstore located on the first floor of the Advanced Learning Library. More products and an online shop will soon follow. The library hopes people will take time during National Library Week, April 6-12, to recognize what libraries offer to communities. 'The need for funding is never-ending, but now more than ever, the issue is tantamount,' Garcia said. 'Simply put, we want our patrons to know the need is urgent, and any way they'd like to show their support would be graciously accepted.' He said a potential budget deficit for the City of Wichita is also on the horizon. If you want to help, you can buy the library merchandise, donate through the Wichita Public Library Foundation at or share your concerns with elected officials. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
