The Washington State Library will receive $6,020,228.79 under a Formula Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' (IMLS) Grants to States program (CFDA 45.310) to support its five-year plan for fiscal years 2023 through 2027. The plan focuses on five goals that align with the purposes of the Library Services and Technology Act: 1) promoting equitable economic growth, access to education, and lifelong learning; 2) preserving and sharing Washington's stories using accessible and culturally respectful methods; 3) serving individuals statewide who cannot read standard print; 4) supporting incarcerated and hospitalized individuals in recovery, release, and reentry; and 5) developing a diverse library staff and building capacity across libraries to serve all constituents. Funds will be administered by the Washington Secretary of State's Financial Services Section through September 2024 to support these initiatives.
