    Summary

    The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), a federal program for libraries administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), requires a five-year plan from each state.


    The Five-Year Plan of New York State consists of four major goals:

    1. The New York State Library will champion lifelong learning.
    2. The New York State Library will demonstrate excellence in public services to and through its library systems and libraries.
    3. The New York State Library will strengthen community engagement and promote social well-being.
    4. The New York State Library will advance collections stewardship and access.

    Each of these goals has specified recommendations, program activities, and key outcomes. Please refer to the 2022-2027 Program Guidance (https://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/lsta/LSTA227Final.pdf) for more information.
