On February 18th, the Idaho Commission for Libraries Board of Commissioners reviewed and approved the two grant applications submitted in response to the 2011 LSTA Competitive Grant announcement. Due to the fact the Federal Government is currently operating under a Continuing Resolution, the final award of these grants is  contingent on the Commission receiving their full LSTA award for 2011.

The grants approved were the Boise Public Library's application titled "Survey of Library Service Needs for Boise Area Community," and Cooperative Information Network's application titled "Add Benewah County Library District to CIN."

The Commission's LSTA funding will continue to be monitored, and applicants will be notified of any change in status .
