IMLS Awards Hawaii's Public Libraries $1.17 Million Grant

The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has awarded a grant of $1.17 million to the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS). The IMLS distributes these funds annually through state library agencies nationwide, as part of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Each state, in turn, is tasked with meeting match and maintenance of effort requirements.

HSPLS uses the grant money to fund IT infrastructure, network and other technology costs, annual subscriptions to online databases, Microsoft IT Academy, PowerSpeak Languages and our newest eResource, Ed2Go. The grant funding also pays for some eBook/eAudio/eMusic and Internet access costs.

"LSTA funding is the primary source of federal funding for America's libraries, and HSPLS would be unable to provide the programs, public access technology and resources we do without these funds," said State Librarian Richard Burns.
