Greetings Library Community

The Office of Commonwealth Libraries (OCL) is currently accepting applications for Statewide Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants. There is no dollar threshold; however, awards will be granted to the proposals that are the most competitive and directly align with the goals and outcomes outlined in Pennsylvania’s LSTA Five-Year Plan. 

Interested organizations must submit their Statewide Library Service grant application(s) by May 31, 2023, at 12:00pm.  After that time, applications will no longer be accepted, and we cannot grant any extensions.

The recorded Statewide Library Service Grant Information Session, including questions and answers, can be viewed on the PA Library Staff Academy.  The recorded information session, along with information on applying for a grant, can also be accessed on Statewide Library Service Grant LibGuide.

Questions about the 2023-24 Statewide Library Service Grant or Pennsylvania’s LSTA program may be sent to ra-edbldadmin@pa.gov.
