This LSTA grant program is designed to provide public and academic libraries and library cooperatives with the opportunity to expand services for learning and access to information and/or to develop library services that provide all users access to information. The intent is to fund one-year projects that increase capacity to provide access to library collections and information for users. The expected focus will be the improvement in access to library users in one of the three priorities listed below and that align with the LSTA priorities listed in the grant documentation. Proposals that do not focus on improving access to users do not fit the criteria. * Improve access to services & information in areas of literacy. * Improve access to services & information in areas of local history or special collections. * Improve access to information for community users with limited online access, e.g., improving equity through digital inclusion. The grant period is one year (Oct. 1 - Sept. 30) and funding is from $5,000 to $25,000. Funding is by reimbursement only. Applications are due Friday, May 31st by 5:00 PM EST. Eligible applicants are Michigan public and academic libraries and library cooperatives. Public libraries must be legally established and eligible for state aid at the time of application. Academic libraries must be part of a public or non-profit college or university currently accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. A federal Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number is required to apply. The grant program is competitive.

This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services Wonder Media The Library of Michigan is proud to announce, in partnership with Western Michigan University, the new Wonder Media<https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/> website for News and Media Literacy! The website is a digital version of the successful two-year run of the Wonder Media: Ask the Questions! interactive exhibition at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum (KVM) in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The exhibition was a joint project of Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College. The website is brought to you by a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Western Michigan University, and the Library of Michigan. Our project team has worked with public library staff from a variety of districts to create a usable, accessible and interesting toolkit<https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/home#toolkit> on media literacy and news media literacy. The materials are aimed at middle school users, ages 11-14, but many of the online games, videos and program ideas are suitable for ages 10 and older. In this media and news literacy toolkit, you’ll find ready-made worksheets, programming ideas, do-it-yourself escape kits and extension activities. See the Resources <https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/resources/> page for ready-made worksheets, programming ideas, do-it-yourself escape kits and extension activities. This site is continually updating its resources to better serve you, our users! You’ll find activities that accompany contents on the Wonder Media Library website, as well as detailed lesson plans. Suggestions of books, articles, other websites and online materials to assist you in growing your media literacy and news media literacy are also included. But that’s not all! YOU, too, can help to shape Wonder Media resources! Feel free to make use of the toolkit<https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/home#toolkit> and resources<https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/resources/> and then provide librarian feedback<https://wmich.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8wZMeu2OiPMuCzk> to our Wonder Media partners. If you use the site with students/patrons, feel free to ask them to fill out this survey for users<https://wmich.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_74bw6pkkyDsgk4K>, as we’d love their feedback, too.

In order to inform this strategy and expedite the implementation of the strategy in libraries, ALA and SLI are seeking feedback from the field. The results will inform the implementation section of the strategy document which is scheduled to be released in June 2024 at the ALA Annual Conference in San Diego, CA. This survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NCASWG24> is intended for library leaders. The Working Group identifies library leaders as all library workers and trustees given each person's sphere of influence to make a difference on the topic of climate action. The survey should take 8-10 minutes to complete. It will remain open until Friday, April 5, 2024.
