LSTA Grant Training

The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) of 1996, a section of the Museum and Library Services Act, promotes access to learning and information resources of all types of libraries for individuals of all ages. Through this federal legislation, the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) provides funds to the Georgia Public Library Service and other state library agencies using a population-based formula which may be used to support statewide initiatives and services. Funds may also be distributed through competitive subgrant competitions or cooperative agreements to public, academic, research, school, and special libraries in each state.
