LSTA Full Grants Available

The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the availability of Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds for full grant proposals. Under the
full grant program, any type of library may apply for funds in one of the
following categories:  Innovative Technology; Staff Development and
Training; Services to Target Populations; and Services to Youth.  

Although there is no limit to the amount of federal funds which can be
requested, the State Library anticipates that the majority of funded
proposals will be in the range of $50,000 to $150,000 in federal funds.  A
local cash match of 25% of the total project cost is required.

Proposals are due at the State Library by 4:00 p.m. May 18, 2005.  Approved
proposals will run from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006.
