Commission for Libraries Leads Nation in Opening Digital Equity Grant Funding Opportunity

The Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICfL) is the only state library agency administering its state planning and implementation, due in part to close-knit relationships in this small state. It’s also one of the first to begin its subgrant process open to eligible applicants, including libraries. We sat down with Deputy State Librarian Dylan Baker to learn more about Idaho’s subgrant application and discuss how libraries can assist states in achieving the goals. While each state has its own process and deadlines for releasing funds, the takeaways here can be applied to libraries seeking or considering state capacity funds across the country.
