A Rhode Island District Court judge has ruled that the Trump administration acted unlawfully in pulling grants from libraries and museums, and the funds are now being reinstated. Federal funding only makes up a small proportion of the budget for public libraries, but it does support services like internet access, workforce training and pilot programs.

The final penny in America was pressed last month. David L. Ulin writes for Alta about why the coin is special to him. "When I was a young child, mildly dyslexic and unable to determine left from right, my mother would put a penny in my left shoe so I could feel it beneath my arch and orient myself," he writes. "Later, she passed along her belief in the heads-up penny as a good-luck charm, a quiet superstition shared by millions of Americans. To this day, when I see such a penny on the street, I pick it up; it feels like a secret message from the universe to me."
