Public Library Accessibility & Construction Grant ProgramLearning Support :

The competitive library construction grant program began in 1994 exclusively as a grant to remove architectural barriers in public library buildings. In 2005, the legislature amended and expanded this legislation. Beginning in FY06, permissible use of the grants includes general improvements and accessibility, renovation or expansion of an existing building for use as a library, or construction of a new library building. The maximum accessibility grant was increased to $200,000 with construction grants capped at $1 million.

The 2008 legislature appropriated $1.5 million for the FY2009-2010 biennium.
