Library Services and Technology Act. Federal funds for library services come primarily from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), passed by Congress and signed by the President on September 30, 1996. It is authorized for six years, 1997 through 2002. The funds allocated by Congress to this program are distributed to states annually to address the goals of LSTA according to each state's long range plan. LSTA funds are administered in Nebraska by the Library Commission.

LSTA grants are awarded annually to all state libraries for use in statewide and local projects. In Montana, the Montana State Library Commission establishes priorities for LSTA funds.
