Description
The Regional Library Services Grant is an annual, non-competitive funding opportunity administered by the Alaska State Library, Archives & Museums. Its primary aim is to ensure reasonable access to library materials and services in areas of Alaska that lack established library facilities. The grant supports libraries in either providing direct library materials to underserved communities or offering training and technical support to other libraries throughout the state. The program is governed by Alaska Library Law and is designed to expand library access and capacity, especially in regions with insufficient population or resources to sustain a public library.
