The focus of this state-based program is information access through technology and improving access to library services, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and cooperation among all types of libraries, as well as a requirement to demonstrate improvement in library services through use of the federal funds. Eligible applicants are libraries as defined in North Carolina's LSTA Five-Year Plan, with further specific eligibility requirements driven by priorities on the plan. Catherine Prince [email protected] 919-814-6796 Aid to Public Libraries State Library Funds are distributed according to a formula. The formula allocates 50 percent of the total Aid to Public Libraries appropriation as equal block grants to each eligible county library, plus an additional block grant to each regional library. Municipal libraries qualifying for funding do not receive block grants. The remaining 50 percent of the Aid to Public Libraries fund is allocated as per capita income equalization grants. Each eligible county, regional, and municipal library system receives a per capita grant that is inversely proportional to the local per capita income.
