The State Library Presents a Webinar on the 2009/2010 competitive program of
grant awards for federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds.

. Do you have a great idea for a new or unique library project? 

. Are you interested in applying for LSTA funds to make that a reality? 

This webinar will provide an overview of the LSTA Competitive Grant program
and application process. Applying for a 2009/2010 LSTA grant will be
different than in previous years and will consist of only one grant
application, instead of a two-step process. Because of the numerous changes
this year, participation in this webinar is required for all prospective
applicants. (Please note: If you cannot attend the live webinar, you can -
and must - view the archived version, which will be available on February
18.)

The application forms and guidelines will be made available during this
session, and Consultants from the Library Development Services Bureau will
also be available to offer advice and answer questions.
