If awarded an LSTA grant, the Nevada State Library staff would like to help you celebrate your successes! If you host an open house, launch party, or special event, consider inviting the State Librarian and/or the Deputy State Librarian. Contact Sulin Jones for arrangements.
Send timely press releases to the LSTA coordinator for forwarding to IMLS. They can often help promote at the national level.
As a grant recipient, you are required to acknowledge the IMLS and the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records in your announcements, flyers, press releases, banners, videos, events, as well as on all grant funded materials and equipment. Example:
Funds for this project have been provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.
Use of the IMLS logo is required on all publications. NSLAPR's logo may be included as well. Logos are available below:
You're encouraged to tag IMLS (as well as NSLAPR) in any social media post that promotes your LSTA grant project:
Also, remember to capture social media content to include with final reports.
A picture is worth 1000 words, so we highly recommend that photo documentation and video URLs be submitted with your final report. If members of the public are in your snapshots, also get a photo release.
IMLS has prepared a series of guidance memos on how to administer and report on the use of LSTA funds.
