Every five years, the Nebraska Library Commission is required to conduct an evaluation of its implementation of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) “Grants to States” program. The LSTA Grants to States Program is a federal program that provides funding to each state based on a population‐driven formula. Decisions regarding how these funds are spent are made at the state level; however, expenditures must be consistent with the purposes and priorities that are established nationally.
As part of our evaluation, our independent evaluator, Dr. Anthony Chow, asks those we serve to answer a survey designed to gather information about the impact that our LSTA‐funded programs and services have had on individuals and libraries in Nebraska. This is an opportunity for communities to give us feedback about how the Library Commission’s activities have affected them. Please help us by promoting the survey. The responses will only be made available to our evaluator – so candid responses are appreciated. Here is the link:
