Honestly, these IMLS funds make things possible in Utah that
just wouldn't have happened any other way.
So being able to use these funds for sub granting has really
allowed people to make real difference in their community
and implement programs that end up having impact for years.
Our libraries are very good at participating in their
community, really being dialed into those community needs and
they're so innovative.
The projects we see come out are just meaningful and intentional
and actually move the needle on what they're working on.
So we're always really excited about our sub grants.
We also just started an initiative focusing on literacy,
where we've partnered with authors and are bringing them in
for both early literacy and teen literacy to try and spread the
message of how important that literacy is and how libraries
can help you.
