Details:

Inspiration Grants opportunity provides LSTA funding for California libraries that are inspired to implement projects outside of the State Library’s other funding opportunities. The California State Library’s LSTA grant opportunities:

  • Support improvement, innovation, and experimentation in library services;
  • Build capacity among the California library community in grant-writing and grant management; and
  • Help California’s local libraries develop services that effectively respond to community needs and align with community aspirations.

The California grant program is based on the purposes of the Museum and Library Services Act, which include:

  • Expanding services for learning and access to information and educational resources in a variety of formats, in all types of libraries, for individuals of all ages;
  • Developing library services that provide all users access to information through local, state, regional, national, and international electronic networks;
  • Providing electronic and other linkages among and between all types of libraries;
  • Developing public and private partnerships with other agencies and community-based organizations;
  • Targeting library services to individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, and to individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills;
  • Targeting library and information services to persons having difficulty using a library and to underserved urban and rural communities, including children (from birth through age 17) from families with incomes below the poverty line.

Funding Information

Awards range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $100,000.

Eligibility Criteria

LSTA funded projects must be submitted by an eligible organization and:

  • Contribute to the achievement of the State Library’s current LSTA Five-Year plan;
  • Adhere to federal funding restrictions;
  • Conform with Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2CFS 200); and
  • Comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in order to purchase devices that can connect to and browse the internet.

Public libraries applying for funds must have completed:

  • The most recent annual Public Libraries Survey.
  • The State Library’s Cultural Heritage Disaster Preparedness Survey within the last three years.

Applicants with a history of inadequate management of previous projects and delayed or incomplete reporting may be denied future awards until an improvement in administrative practice can be demonstrated.

LSTA funds are not used to support costs of ongoing library operations, which are considered a local responsibility.
