Connecticut State Library, Hartford.
To participate in the state grant program of the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), Connecticut is required to prepare a Five-Year State Plan. This plan establishes goals and objectives for the State consistent with the purposes of LSTA, describes the activities that will meet those goals and describes the procedures that have and will be used to involve libraries and users throughout the state.
