2013-2014 LSTA Grant Opportunities

The State Library has launched a new Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Five-Year Plan for 2013-2017 and are announcing the LSTA grant opportunities for the coming year.  We believe this plan and its programs offer the flexibility our libraries need in order to be responsive to the communities they serve across our state.

The Annual Program Plan provides brief descriptions of available EZ and Project Grants, plus additional details such as eligible libraries, the minimum/maximum amount of funds that can be requested, and the match requirement for each program.  Complete information for all grant programs is available in the Program-Specific Information & Guidelines.
