The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners received a $3.5 million Formula Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the federal Grants to States program (CFDA 45.310) on April 8, 2021. Funding will support efforts to respond to pandemic impacts and related economic needs through equitable digital inclusion and library services. Key services include social services, career assistance, equipment for accessibility and outreach, and programming in 13 sub-awardee libraries across Massachusetts. Sub-awardees will use funding to support social workers, purchase vehicles and equipment for mobile outreach services, improve digital access, and create makerspaces. This funding advances the goals of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners' five-year strategic plan to promote learning, enable access, strengthen libraries, build the workforce, develop skills and connect communities.
