The California State Library received a $35,693,060.61 Formula Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Grants to States program (CFDA 45.310) with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The funds will support the goals of the library's five-year plan for FY 2023-2027, which align with the purposes and priorities of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Specific goals addressed include strengthening the ability of California libraries to design programs and services for all Californians in collaboration with their local communities, expanding the capacity of library workers, broadening data-driven planning and decision-making, and strengthening resource-sharing and access to information and services. The grant enables the California State Library to provide subawards to local public libraries and systems, including partners like Oakland, San Diego, and Pasadena Public Libraries, and the San Joaquin Valley Library System, to develop initiatives such as ebook collections, robotics programs, sustainable living education, and technology-enabled community services.
