Idaho Commission for Libraries

LSTA funds are Federal funds awarded to the Commission for Libraries from the Institute of Museum and Library Service (IMLS). These funds are governed by the purposes for LSTA, six priorities for the use of LSTA funds and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars for allowable uses for Federal funds.

The Commission for Libraries provides grant opportunities to eligible Idaho libraries. Library Services and Technology Act funds (LSTA) are our primary source of grant funds and are available for a variety of projects. Examples of projects might be networking libraries, expanding library services, projects to serve the underserved, continuing education projects, advocacy projects and others.
