About Arkansas State Library
Arkansas State Library, a U.S. state government entity based in Little Rock, acts as a prime recipient of federal formula grants supporting statewide library infrastructure, workforce development, digitization, and technology services — not as a contractor selling goods or services on the open market. The library operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of its federal footprint), with no subcontractor engagements and no participation in federal contracting vehicles.
The library's federal grant portfolio centers on two agencies. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funds the bulk of recent activity through the Grants to States program under the Library Services and Technology Act (CFDA 45.310), with five consecutive formula grants spanning 2021 through 2027. The most recent award, effective October 1, 2025, carries $3.27 million and runs through September 30, 2027. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science previously issued twelve awards (no longer visible in active source data as a current grantor). IMLS currently accounts for 100% of awards in the recent footprint.
The Arkansas State Library uses IMLS funds to advance four strategic goals aligned with its five-year plan (FY 2023–2027): enhancing access to information resources through digitization and preservation; providing workforce training, professional development, and recruitment support to library staff statewide; delivering diverse programs and services to Arkansas residents including children, parents, teenagers, adult learners, seniors, and businesses; and strengthening technological infrastructure through IT consultation services and emerging technology implementation. The library distributes formula grant funds statewide to support competitive subawards or cooperative agreements with eligible public, academic, research, school, and special libraries or consortia. Supported service delivery encompasses electronic database access, computer instruction, summer reading programs, digitized special collections, e-book and adaptive technology access, and bookmobile services.
Activity has been minimal over the past five years—one award per year from 2022 through 2025—with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (the grants ending September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2027). Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-three awards in the historical footprint total $57.5 million.
