The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce a new Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) summer quick grant program for public libraries. LSTA allows grant funds for public library services and has priorities
for targeting library services to individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills and expanding services for learning and access
to information.
This program provides funding for
public libraries to purchase materials and supplies that meet the selected program topics for a given year and are for an identified program or service the library will be providing. Funding is intended to supplement local topical services that improve
information access and quality of service in their communities. The focus will be on small projects that improve community services, with a focus on the LSTA priorities listed above.
The grant period will be from June to August annually, as funding allows. Funding will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement.
The application deadline is May 22, 2017.
Eligible applicants are Michigan public libraries that are legally established and currently eligible for state aid.
Detailed information on the grant program, including the program timeline, applicant eligibility, and the application, is available at
www.michigan.gov/lsta. Please contact Karren Reish at 517-241-0021 or
reishk@michigan.gov with questions on the program.
