The oregon state library will use funds to support the goals of their five-year plan for FY 2018-2022, which reflect the purposes and priorities of the library services and technology act (LSTA)

The Oregon State Library was awarded a $3.67 million Formula Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Grants to States program (CFDA 45.310) to support its five-year plan for fiscal years 2018 through 2022. The plan's goals are to provide access to library services, materials, and information resources; use technology to increase access; promote evidence-based practice; develop information literacy skills; and foster lifelong learning.

Key services include purchasing additional e-book and e-audiobook content to address high holds ratios, improving the shared integrated library system connecting eight Lane County libraries, expanding an outreach van program and hiring staff to serve underserved communities in Beaverton, improving rural youth services in Clatsop County, increasing access to archival records of an early 20th century Japanese American business, and supporting a materials courier service across 15 rural Oregon counties. Sub-awards were provided to the Oregon Library Association, City of Springfield, City of Beaverton, City of Seaside Fire & Rescue Department, Oregon Historical Society, and Baker County Library District to deliver these services.

The goals include: 1) provide access to library services, materials, and information resources; 2) use technology to increase capacity to provide access to library services, materials, and information resources; 3) promote evidence-based practice in libraries; 4) develop information literacy skills; and 5) foster lifelong learning.
