LDND Projects

The activities of the division are guided by the following projects funded by the Library Science and Technology Act. These activities are evaluated and adjusted annually, on the federal fiscal cycle, of October 1 to September 30. As we move forward, we welcome your input on what the library community would like to see happen. Please contact Nan Carmack, (804) 692-3792.

This project provides Virginia library staff with education and leadership development opportunities with the following outcomes that enable them to deliver high-quality library and information services, effect positive change in their communities, respond to developments and evolution in library practices, and respond to a rapidly changing environment in which library services are provided. For more information, contact Cindy Church.

This project is intended to support small to medium, underfunded libraries in processes necessary for a 21st-century library, and thus, their users. Outcomes include providing a robust and interactive online presence and expanding user access to collections, programs, and information. The main project in this area is the LVA WordPress project which provides webhosting and support for 25 libraries. For more information, contact Barry Trott or Nan Carmack.
