Program: Blind and Disabled

Function

The Program for the Blind and Disabled serves blind, visually and print impaired and physically disabled Utahns. All appropriate public, non-public, or non-profit libraries have an opportunity to participate in the program. The Library for the Blind and Disabled provides special library services to a targeted population by circulating library materials in alternative formats including Braille, large print, recorded cassettes and digital media. Approximately 1.4 percent of Utah's population is blind or physically disabled. Presently 24 percent of the target population is receiving service from the blind and physically disabled program.

Funding Detail

Major funding for the Blind and Disabled is from the General Fund, federal funds and dedicated credit revenues. Dedicated credits for this program come providing services to eligible residents of other states. Utah contracts with 19 states and provides Braille to eligible citizens in those States. Utah also contracts with Wyoming and provides full service to those eligible. The revenue from these contracts supports staff and warehouse space for materials at USL and makes it possible for Utah's blind and disabled customers to have ready access to a large collection of materials.

Program: Library Development

Function

The Library Development program supports library services in all areas of the state's library community. It focuses particularly on public library services provided by Utah's cities and counties. This program helps ensure that local communities across Utah have access to the information resources and tools that residents need to fully participate in the emerging technologies.

The program assists libraries in achieving library certification. Certified libraries are eligible to apply for grants and to receive state and federal funds administered by the Utah State Library. Uncertified libraries are not eligible for these funds.

The program contracts with counties to provide mobile library services (bookmobiles) for fourteen counties not served by fixed site public libraries.

Library Development also administers and coordinates consulting services, a children's summer reading program, early literacy training, library service standards, planning, federal grants, and library management information. USL staff provides professional expertise and technical assistance to help library directors and trustees solve problems, assess needs, make plans, set policies and find resources.

Funding Detail

Funding for Library Development comes from the General Fund, federal funds, and dedicated credits. Dedicated credits in this program are generated by the bookmobile program. Most of the funding for the program is used for staff support, maintenance of bookmobile services, and federal grant expenditures through the Library Service and Technology Act (LSTA).
