The following LSTA projects were approved for funding in 2004 by State
Superintendent of Public Instruction Elizabeth Burmaster. The LSTA
program grants total $2.9 million. The Department of Public
Instruction Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning
administers Wisconsin's yearly LSTA allocation of federal funds from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency responsible for
strengthening libraries and museums. Some of the grant awards, particularly
those administered by public library systems, may be listed in more than one
congressional district because they cover large geographic areas, multiple
counties, etc.
Abstracts of projects and lists of projects by
grant category also are available.
