These monies will be used for print and AV materials that support educational purposes. We are grateful to the Colorado State Library for pursuing funding for these worthwhile causes.

The State Grants to Libraries was funded by the Colorado Legislature to help increase access to early literacy and educational materials.

This non-competitive program administered by the Colorado State Library funded 315 grants to academic, public, and school libraries across the state this year.

Libraries received a minimum of $3,500 and that funding more than doubled the collection budgets for 70 libraries.
