<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm relatively new here at the Utah State Library and am wondering about the latest LSTA guidelines on travel for library conferences for subgrantees. It seems we've always used state funds to award travel and training, vs LSTA. We're very
much in the exploration stage at this point, and would appreciate experience and input. Could anyone please provide some details and a link or two?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Specifically, the concept is for a grant in which funds would be for Utah tribal librarians/representatives (and possibly a state library representative) to attend an out of state conference, which we would likely tie to a portion of the
LSTA grant being for tribal library enhancement related to the conference. For example (completely made up numbers): $3,000 library enhancement project award plus associated travel to a conference of up to $2,000 for a total of $5,000 award...<o:p></o:p></p>
