Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grants | Research Funding Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grants Libraries are invited to apply for funding that supports a new or improved program or service that will solve a specific problem or meet an identified need of the library’s current or potential users.
This competitive grant program allows libraries to focus on meeting their users’ needs by developing a project that has a user-focused need statement, defined outcomes, a timeline with a series of actions spread out over the funding period, and an evaluation that measures how well the outcomes were met. Projects need to support one of the goals from North Carolina’s LSTA Five Year Plan .
Each goal is based on identified needs, strives toward excellence and equity in North Carolina’s libraries, and is related to one or more of the eight LSTA priorities. Eligible libraries may submit up to three EZ and Project grant applications per year. State Library Consultants are available to provide feedback throughout the application process and to review complete draft applications submitted through February 12, 2025.
To be eligible, all grant application documents must be received by 11:59 PM on the due date. Only complete applications from eligible libraries will be considered.
