The CT State Library is offering LSTA grants in two categories:


1.    Six-month planning grants will provide up to $5,000 to assist libraries with planning initiatives to explore new services, assess and address the needs of changing population and patron bases, develop partnerships and collaboration, or write new strategic plans or long-range master plans.

Rolling deadlines for planning grants will be four weeks before each scheduled State Library Board (SLB) meeting. The next upcoming deadlines are at the end of February and April.



2.    One-year literacy grants will provide up to $7,500 to assist libraries with creating strategic, sustainable partnerships and lifelong learning programs that address the seven literacies (basic, early, civic/social, digital/information, financial, health, and legal) in their communities.

The deadline for literacy grant applications is 4:00 pm on April 8, 2019. Grant programs and spending must occur between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020.

The following types of libraries are eligible to apply:

·         Principal public libraries

·         School libraries

·         Academic libraries

·         Special libraries
