State Library Announces Availability of LSTA Grant Funds for Services to
Persons with Disabilities

 

The State Library is pleased to announce the availability of Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Services to Persons with Disabilities
grant funds for FY08.  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,
2008 - August 31, 2008.  

 

The Request for Proposal can be found at 
http://winslo.state.oh.us/publib/lstadisability.html.  Additional
information on preparing an LSTA proposal can be found on the general
LSTA page at http://winslo.state.oh.us/publib/lsta98.html. LSTA staff is
available to answer your questions and read draft proposals.

 

The Service Plan and Funding Request are due at the State Library by
5:00 p.m. December 14, 2007.

 

Questions on the LSTA disability grant program should be addressed to
Missy Lodge, Head, Library Programs and Development at 800-686-1532 or
