In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would cut funding for libraries and museums across the country.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has since joined a coalition of 21 attorneys filing a lawsuit challenging the executive order.
On Midday Edition Monday, we check in with local library and museum leaders about how they are bracing for the possible impact.
Guests:
- Patrick Stewart, CEO of the San Diego Library Foundation
- Jessica Hanson York, CEO of Mingei International Museum and chair of the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership
