Washington State Library

The Washington State Library 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). In Washington, specific goals address: 1) Promoting equitable economic growth, access to education, and inclusive lifelong learning; 2) Preserving and sharing Washington’s stories using methods and tools that balance accessibility with respect for the storytelling culture; 3) Serving all who cannot read standard print statewide; 4) Supporting the incarcerated and hospitalized in their recovery, release, and re-entry; and 5) Developing diverse library staff and leaders and building capacity among libraries across the state to serve all constituents.
