Hello and welcome!
This is the central hub of information about Library and Service Technology Act (LSTA) grants for the Maryland State Library Agency (MSLA). Please use the buttons/links to the left to navigate. The Maryland State Library Agency only awards federal LSTA grants to Maryland Public Library systems-- each County and Baltimore City has its own administration. All other grant-seeking organizations should seek to partner with a Maryland public library system to be eligible for a grant from MSLA.
