<div dir="ltr">Yesterday the State Library of Oregon received a notification from IMLS about the 2025 LSTA grant award, providing authorization for 50% of the funds, or $1.3 million. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The message did not indicate that this will be the only authorization, but this is a step forward to that full $2.6 million LSTA grant award for spending in FY2026. </div>
