'''Grants to States Program''' is a federal funding initiative administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) within the Department of Education, providing annual allotments to State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) in all 50 states, territories, and freely associated states. The Grants to States Program distributes federal funds to State Library Administrative Agencies to support library services, enhancing access to educational and cultural resources across the United States, aiming to improve library practices and meet state-defined needs through a population-based formula, fostering innovation and equity in library access. Notable features include its allocation of approximately $180 million annually as of 2025, supporting over 1,500 projects yearly, and its evolution from the 1956 Library Services Act to the current LSTA framework, emphasizing technology and underserved populations. | '''Grants to States Program''' is a federal funding initiative administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) within the Department of Education, providing annual allotments to State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) in all 50 states, territories, and freely associated states.
