Grants

Introduction

Montana State Library receives grant funds to use to improve library services in the state. The major source for grants is the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which administers the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), an annual grant awarded to every state based on population.

IMLS also administers the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian grant program, which has funded two Professional Education and Employment for Librarians (PEEL) scholarship projects in Montana.

Grants have also been awarded to the State Library by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation has provided public access computers and technology training for Montana's public libraries in a series of grants beginning in 2000.
