Please excuse multiple postings...

The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for 2019 Summer Library Program grants<http://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/#AvailableGrants>. The CSLP's (Collaborative Summer Library Program) 2019 theme is "A Universe of Stories!"  This grant program will provide funds to support libraries in the production of summer library program/summer reading programs (SLPs/SRPs) that engage and benefit their communities.

The purpose of the grant program is to empower libraries to enhance their 2019 SLP/SRPs with library-led activities that spark creativity and productivity, engage individuals, and benefit their communities.

A wide range of activities for all age groups can qualify for this LSTA grant program; feel welcome to be creative, seek out partners, and try something new - or expand on something you have already established.

Libraries may apply for up to $1500 in federal LSTA funds and need to provide a 25% cash match of the total project cost (e.g. $500 if you request $1500 federal dollars; $200 if you request $600, etc.).  The cash local match may be from the library budget, donations, fundraising, etc.

This grant does not require the project coordinator to have an MLS/MLIS degree. Also, please note that use of CSLP themes and materials is NOT required for a library to be eligible for this LSTA grant.

All proposals should be submitted electronically, as one set of documents, to LSTA at library.ohio.gov<mailto:LSTA at library.ohio.gov>  and must be received by 11:59 p.m. February 1, 2019.

Questions on the Ohio LSTA grant process should be addressed to Cindy Boyden, cboyden at library.ohio.gov<mailto:cboyden at library.ohio.gov> or 800-686-1532 or 614-644-6863.
