Arizona State Library

The Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records will use funds under the American Rescue Plan Act to help communities respond directly and immediately to the pandemic, as well as to related economic and community needs through equitable approaches in digital inclusion and library services. They will continue to support the goals of their Five-Year Plan for FY 2018-2022. In Arizona, specific goals address 1) information access for Arizona's residents; 2) informal education for residents of all ages; 3) libraries that enable residents to engage with their communities, develop workforce skills, and learn life literacies such as parenting, health and finance; and 4) improvements to library technology resources, staff skills, programs, and collections.
