Library of Virginia

The Library of Virginia 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). Specific state goals include: 1) Foster the development of the evolving neighborhood/community library as a center for lifelong learning and civic engagement; 2) facilitate access to information and the discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage; 3) support the training and development of proactive library leadership and skilled staff to meet the rapidly changing environment; and 4) foster innovation to improve libraries through trend watching, pilot projects, research and evaluation, and promising practices.
