About the company
Mass Board Of Library Commissioners, a state government entity and child agency of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts headquartered in Boston, receives federal grants to distribute library services funding to local public libraries throughout Massachusetts. The organization acts exclusively as a grant recipient, not a prime contractor, and has received formula grants totaling $100.6 million across twenty-five awards since 2006, with no subcontractor role.
The organization's federal funding is concentrated with two agencies. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has funded eleven awards under the Grants to States program (CFDA 45.310), including a $5.55 million formula grant awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2027. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science has funded thirteen awards. The National Endowment for the Humanities accounts for one award. All twenty-five awards are formula grants to support Massachusetts' five-year plans aligned with Library Services and Technology Act priorities.
Under the most recent IMLS Grants to States award, MBLC distributes funds to eligible library entities to support electronic database access, computer instruction and digital skills training, homework centers, summer reading programs, e-books and adaptive technology, digitization of special collections, and bookmobile services. Specific initiatives supported by recent funding include establishment of makerspaces at Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy and Shrewsbury Public Library, with standardized staff training. MBLC serves diverse populations including children, parents, teenagers, adult learners, seniors, and unemployed individuals through these library-based programs and may further distribute resources through competitive subawards or cooperative agreements to eligible library entities.
Award velocity has slowed in recent years — one award in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — with two awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
