State Aid for Library Construction program staff are hard at work preparing to accept applications for the FY2024-2025 (0386-25) funding cycle. Per the State Budget, $44 billion in capital funds has been provided to support construction and renovation projects in New York’s libraries.
Interested public libraries and public library systems can also start preparing by viewing the recent NYS Library webinar, Public and Association Library Construction: A Step-By-Step Guide to the Application Process. This webinar has been archived for future viewing on the Division of Library Development website. The webinar covers common questions about the State Aid for Library Construction program and provides a detailed explanation of the application process and its requirements.
You can find much more information, such as timelines, forms, and additional resources, on the State Aid for Library Construction homepage.
