Texas State Library and Archives Commission
COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM for SFY 1999
The Texas State Library expects to offer federally funded competitive
Cooperation Grants (multi-type libraries) for fiscal year 1999
(September 1, 1998 to
August 31, 1999). To apply for this grant, please order the
guidelines and application form by using the attached request form.
While final award figures are not yet available, we have provided
the anticipated amounts. Please respond as soon as possible. This is
the
only notice you will receive concerning this grant program; deadline
for applications is March 16, 1998.
COOPERATION GRANTS
NEW
The purposes of LSTA include encouraging libraries in different areas,
and encouraging different types of libraries to establish consortia and
share resources. The act also describes a variety of library linkages
to electronic networks and educational, social or information services.
The grants will be awarded to public libraries, but will need to involve
multi-type libraries or multiple libraries (not branches). We expect to
have $250,000 available; the maximum award is $60,000. Grant
applications are evaluated by the LSTA Council, a group of 10 citizens
and librarians. Qualifying libraries may receive Cooperation Grants for
up to three (3) consecutive years, subject to application and the
availability of federal funds.
