LSTA JOBS Category

JOBS - For Help, Start at Your Public Library

In an effort to assist the public library community in responding to the economic situation that has affected families and individuals across the state, DLTCL initiated a LSTA category in 2009 called "JOBS-Searching, Training, and Support." In 2009 this funding was made available on an emergency basis to the 17 regional public library systems in a non-competitive category. Funding was distributed on a population formula. In 2010 the category was competitive and open to both public libraries and systems.

The Systems use the funding to address a variety of needs. A summary of the overall 2009 project was included in a Channel article on the JOBS category. A link to the article appears in the box to the right on this page. Links are also included for the 2010 JOBS Project Summaries and current project abstracts. There is a link to the 2010 LSTA information, as well as one for the DWD Unemployment Figures by County for the State of Wisconsin.
