Improving  Access to Information Grant program

This LSTA grant program is designed to provide public and academic libraries with the opportunity to expand services for learning and access to information and/or to develop library services that provide all users access to information. The intent is to fund one-year projects that improve access to library collections and information. In a given fiscal year, the Library of Michigan will fund a limited number of grants that meet these priorities:

  *   Improve access to services & information in areas of literacy.
  *   Improve access to services & information in areas of local history or special collections.
  *   Improve access to information for community users with limited online access, e.g. improving equity through digital inclusion.
Applicants may propose a project for any of the three priorities listed above. The grant period is one year (Oct.-Sept.) and funding is for $5,000 to $25,000 per year and awarded grants will run from Oct. 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

Application are due Friday, June 19th by 5:00 PM EST
