Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grant Funding

LSTA grant funding is federally funded and centered on meeting the five-year goals for the program as established by the Illinois State Library. For detailed information regarding the five-year goals, visit the Illinois State Library Web site at:

LSTA grant applications require a variety of component parts and take significant time in preparation. LSTA grants are programmatic in nature and are funded on a reimbursing basis. This means the library receiving the grant must be able to fund grant activities until reimbursements are received. Reimbursements are paid on a fixed schedule. For additional information, visit the Illinois State Library Web site at http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/home.html. This is a competitive grant program.
