These dollars will be used by the State Library to directly support local libraries across Kansas, funding important community initiatives like local summer reading programs. As we celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday, Senator Marshall says these dollars also play a critical role in ensuring Kansas kids grow up knowing our nation\u2019s history and our values of faith, family, and freedom.\n\n\u201cKansas libraries are more than just a place to check out books. They provide resources for kids to learn to read, learn to think, and learn what it means to be an American,\u201d said Senator Marshall.\u201cAs we celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday, there\u2019s no better time to invest in passing down the history, values, and freedoms that make this country the greatest in the world. These dollars are a direct investment in our next generation, and I am proud to keep them coming to Kansas.\u201d\n\nSenator Marshall has long supported civics funding during his time in the Senate, including advocating for the IMLS, the National Endowment for the Humanities\u2019 Division of Federal/State Partnership, and the National Park Service\u2019s Historic Preservation Fund.\n\nClick here for more information on how Institute of Museum and Library Services funding is used in Kansas.\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-15T07:12:08Z", "2026-07-15T07:13:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-marshall-applauds-2-1-million-in-kansas-library-funding-emphasizes-importance-of-american-history/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.665908144786954, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
