If the federal government shuts down, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum will shut down, too.

The library, located on the Southern Methodist University campus, has posted a short note on its website. The library says that in the event of a shutdown, it won’t be able to sell tickets, update its website, produce blog items or post Facebook notes.

All National Archives and Records Administration facilities will be closed and all National Archives activities will be canceled.
