The Illinois State Library will use funds to support the goals of their Five-Year Plan for FY 2013-2017, which reflect the purposes and priorities of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). State goals include positioning the Illinois library community: 1) to extend library services for all Illinois residents by providing access to information and ideas by providing diverse resources, whether virtual or tangible, embracing technology and sharing resources; 2) as an educational anchor that provides experiences supporting lifelong learning and information fluency to address the diverse needs of Illinois residents; 3) to further a literate Illinois by creating a reading culture that encourages reading fluency for recreation and/or education; and 4) to provide quality library and information services through research and discovery, best practices, innovation and engaging strategies.
