Background The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is an independent Federal grant-making agency and is the primary source of federal support for the Nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. IMLS provides a variety of grant programs to assist the Nation's museums and libraries in improving their operations and enhancing their services to the public. The IMLS Grants to States program is the largest source of federal funding support for library services in the United States. Using a population-based formula, more than $150 million is distributed among the State Library Administrative Agencies. II. Current Actions The Library Services and Technology Act requires each State Library Administrative Agency to submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period. Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 9134, each State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) that receives an IMLS grant under the Grants to States Program is required to evaluate and report to the agency, prior to the end of their five-year plan, regarding the activities assisted under the LSTA. Each SLAA receives IMLS funding to support the five year period through a series of overlapping two year grant awards. Each SLAA must file interim and final financial reports, as well as final performance reports for each of these two year grants through IMLS' State Program Reporting (SPR) system. The purpose of the proposed information collection is to enhance the reporting of the two year grants through enhanced evaluation and performance measures of beneficiaries.
