This paper describes the programs to be undertaken in the State of California for fiscal years 1988-1992, pursuant to the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA). Introductory materials review the LSCA, the State Advisory Council on Libraries, the state's growth and development, a Legislative Statement of Intent, and the State Library's mission statement. A needs assessment prepared from several recent studies and reports is then presented. The emphasis of both the legislation and the plan is on public libraries, although the resources of other types of libraries are considered as well, and are discussed in the next section. Plans for the use of federal funds are detailed, and implementation of the LSCA priorities in each of five titles are described: (1) library services; (2) library construction; (3) library networks; (4) library services to native Americans and Hawaiians; and (5) library literacy programs. Evaluation and coordination of the programs are also detailed, and criteria for allocating funds for Titles I-III are described; Titles IV and V are not administered by the State Library. A statement of policies for the award of LSCA Title I and III grants is appended. (24 references) (EW)
