The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the availability of LSTA funds for a special grant
program in conjunction with the 2017 summer reading program/summer library program (SRP/SLP). The
purpose of the grant program is to empower public libraries to enhance their 2017 SRP/SLPs with library-
led activities that spark creativity and productivity, engage individuals, and benefit the community.
</font></span></p>

While the 2017 Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) theme “Build a Better World” partially
inspired this grant, libraries do NOT need to use CSLP themes or materials to be eligible for this grant.
</font></span></p>

Libraries may apply for up to $1500 in federal LSTA funds, and need to provide a 25% cash match of the
total project cost.
