FY 2016 Appropriation

The Library Resources program provides reference and interlibrary loan services for libraries and agencies statewide, giving particular support to the state's rural public library jurisdictions. It operates library catalog facilities that are shared with other state agencies and bookmobiles. Library Resources also provides assistance to local libraries through Community Library Enhancement funds. Staff collect, catalog and distribute Utah state government publications to depository libraries and have created a digital repository providing public access to state publications (http://publications.utah.gov).

The program provides a complete range of training for public library staffs across the state. Lender support within the program offers assistance to all types of libraries in Utah to encourage sharing of resources with other Utah libraries. The program also administers state-funded Community Library Enhancement Funds (CLEF) which are used to enhance operations at Utah's public libraries.

Library Resources provides premium internet resources through Public Pioneer, Utah's Online Library (http://pioneer.utah.gov) for public library users across the state. These resources include downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, business information, magazines and newspapers, genealogy information, auto repair, and other online information sources to supplement local library collections.
