LSTA Mini-Grant Funds Available
The State Library is pleased to announce the availability of Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA) mini-grant funds for FY06. All types of
libraries (public, school, academic, special) may apply for funding.
Grant funds are available to fund projects in the areas of: Innovative
Technology, Staff Development and Training, Services to Targeted
Populations and Services to Youth in Poverty.
Under the mini-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, Application Guidelines and other documents to
assist with preparing the application can be found at
http://winslo.state.oh.us/publib/lstamini.html
<http://winslo.state.oh.us/publib/lstamini.html> .
For FY06 there are two changes under the mini-grant program. All Innovative
Technology proposals and some Staff Development and Training proposals
require references to the library's Technology Plan as well as a Long-Range
Plan. Secondly, all proposals must include a project summary, which must
follow the format provided on the website.
LSTA staff is available to answer questions throughout the application
process and are willing to read draft proposals. Additionally, the State
Library's eLearning Center http://slo.minds.tv/ <http://slo.minds.tv/>
contains modules on LSTA Grantwriting Training to assist applicants in
preparing a well-written, competitive proposal.
Proposals are due at the State Library by 4:00 p.m., October 26, 2005.
Questions on the LSTA mini-grant program should be addressed to Missy Lodge,
Head, Library Programs and Development at 800-686-1532 or
