Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries

The Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries will use funds to support the goals of their Five-Year Plan for FY 2023-2027, which reflect the purposes and priorities of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Specific goals include: 1) Statewide Infrastructure - provide support and services through sustainable structures to ensure equity of access to library resources for all Pennsylvanians, regardless of economy or geography; 2) Libraries as Community Catalyst - enable and encouraging every library to understand and serve the needs of their communities through deep engagement, effective partnerships, and strategic resource sharing; 3) Libraries Integral to the Lifelong Educational Ecosystem - leverage the responsibilities libraries share with educational partners to create a seamless and supportive fabric of learning.
