Library Services and Technology Act Plans
The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) requires each State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) to submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period. These goals are based on identified needs and reflect the purposes and priorities outlined in the LSTA.
LSTA Plan 2023-2027
Montana State Library considered input from several sources to identify needs to be addressed in the new LSTA five-year plan. Sources include the LSTA Five-Year Evaluation, the Montana Library Network, library federation needs, Directors Institute data, and the Talking Book program.
LSTA Five-Year Plan 2023 - 2027
The four goals prioritized in the 2023-2027 plan are as follows:
- Library Access. All Montanans have access to library content, services, and information to achieve their personal, educational, and professional goals.
- Technology Support. All Montanans have sufficient access to and can use technology to enable their personal, educational, and professional growth.
- Local Government Collaboration. All Montanans live in communities where the local government and library work together to build resilient communities.
- Learning Experiences. All Montanans have access to learning experiences that support personal, educational, and professional growth.
