How are LSTA Grants like Powerball?

You can’t win if you don’t play!

But while the gas station cashier is happy to sell you the winning Quick Pick ticket with no pre-qualifications, you have to attend an information session in order to get an LSTA grant. And you have much higher odds of getting an LSTA grant than winning the lottery.

So make your own Quick Pick from the dates and locations below, and register on the Continuing Education calendar. Sessions will address both grant categories - literacies and planning - unless noted otherwise below.

More information about the grant opportunities is available at http://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/lstagrants/grantstolibraries, and applications and instructions are online at http://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/lstagrants/grantapplication.
