The Agency works collaboratively with public libraries across the state, administering distribution of state aid and federal funds, and providing opportunities for programming and staff development.

These resources will be maintained and supported by the MSLA's computer network specialist, consulting with the Maryland State Department of Information Technology (DOIT) as necessary. The final product will be used by all 30+ agency personnel and outside presenters and state employees. 2.2.1 Project Goals A.
