Library Development

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Maryland State Library Agency (MSLA) provides continuing education, consulting, programming, and cooperative services to public libraries across Maryland. Funds from the Lib​rary Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant program administered by the Instit​ute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal agency, enable MSLA to fund library development services. State funding is also distributed bi-monthly to public libraries through MSLA.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Explore the LSTA Program on the IMLS website.
