The Washington State Library received notification of the award level for 2011 LSTA funding. The total amount is $3,351,575. This is $231,131 less than the base amount received for 2010.
The award letter dated May 19, 2011 represents the longest wait to receive final award information since LSTA was passed in the late 1990′s. Typically award information is received in a January/February timeframe. Awards are dependent upon the speed of Congress to pass appropriations to fund the various agencies of the federal government.
