Five-Year Plan 2023-2027</span></a></span> and invites proposals that address at least one of the following three focus areas: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3"><b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3"">Library as Community Anchor</span></b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3""> – These project proposals would support the role libraries play in strengthening
their communities and providing a destination for learning, engagement, social support, and expression. This can include areas of employment-related help, economic development support, civic engagement, gathering spaces, and support for the physical and mental
well-being of the community served. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l4 level1 lfo6"><b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3"">Literacy</span></b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3""> – These project proposals would support the library’s role in the development of learning experiences
where literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, and interact across a range of platforms and tools. This could encompass early literacy, digital literacy, functional literacy, adult literacy, financial literacy, health literacy, and others. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo9"><b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3"">Outreach and Engagement</span></b><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3""> – These project proposals would assist libraries in providing new and innovative
ways of offering services to users (and potential users) and in reaching individuals at a variety of locations and through a range of methods. Typically focused outside of the traditional library facility, proposals may include reaching populations not otherwise
served by the library as well as the establishment of new or novel partnerships that would expand the library's reach. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans 3"">“With these three overarching areas of focus, there is flexibility for any eligible Ohio library to be creative and thoughtful when putting together a grant application that best supports the community
served, while also addressing the goals laid out in the 2023-2027 LSTA Five-Year Plan,” expressed Evan T. Struble, Associate State Librarian for Library Development. “I can’t wait to see what projects and initiatives are proposed from the library community
and ultimately approved for funding by our Board.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
