The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds are provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an independent Federal grant-making agency dedicated to creating and sustaining a nation of learners by helping libraries and museums serve their communities. The use of LSTA funds in Connecticut are administered according to the Five Year Plan (2008-2012) submitted to IMLS in June of 2007.

What are the categories for which grants will be accepted? Each year the Advisory Council on Library Planning and Development determines grant categories based on goals in the LSTA Five Year Plan, 2008-2012. For Fiscal Year 2009 grants will be made available in the following categories.
