The State Library is pleased to announce the availability of Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Services to Persons with Disabilities
grant funds for FY06.  All types of libraries (public, school, academic,
special) may apply for funding.  

The Services to Persons with Disabilities grant program focuses on internal
library services that will provide access to information resources to
persons with disabilities.  Funds may be used for equipment, training,
and/or marketing and promotion.  In order to receive LSTA funds under this
program a library must submit, in conjunction with the funding proposal, an
approve-able Plan for providing library services to the disabled.

Under this grant program a maximum of $24,000 in federal funds may be
requested.  A local match is also required; the local match must be 25% of
the total project amount.  Approved proposals will run from April 1, 2006 -
August 31, 2006.  

The Request for Proposal can be found at
http://winslo.state.oh.us/publib/lstadisability.html

information on preparing an LSTA proposal can be found at the State
Library's E-Learning Center at http://slo.minds.tv <http://slo.minds.tv/>   
LSTA staff are available to answer your questions and read draft proposals.


Proposals are due at the State Library by 5:00 p.m., December 16, 2005.
