support for library services in the U.S.
Using a population based formula, more
than $150 million is distributed among
the State Library Administrative
Agencies (SLAAs) every year. SLAAs
are official agencies charged by law with
the extension and development of
library services, and they are located in:
• Each of the 50 States of the United
States, and the District of Columbia;
• The Territories (the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands); and
• The Freely Associated States (the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, the
Federated States of Micronesia, and the
Republic of Palau).
Each year, more than 1,500 Grants to
States projects support the purposes and
priorities outlined in the Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
(See 20 U.S.C. 9121 et seq.) SLAAs may
use the funds to support statewide
initiatives and services, and they may
also distribute the funds through
competitive subawards (e.g. subgrants or
cooperative agreements) to public,
academic, research, school, or special
libraries or library consortia (for-profit
and Federal libraries are not eligible).
Each SLAA must submit a plan that
details library services goals for a fiveyear period. (20 U.S.C § 9134). SLAAs
must also conduct a five-year evaluation
of library services based on that plan.
These plans and evaluations are the
foundation for improving practice and
informing policy. Each SLAA receives
IMLS funding to support the five year
period through a series of overlapping,
two year grant awards.
