LSTA Funds to Remain Steady for 2011 The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Museum and Library Services Act (MLSA) by a voice vote yesterday, clearing the last legislative hurdle in its reauthorization process. Last week, the U.S. Senate also passed MLSA under unanimous consent. MLSA will now be sent to the president, who is expected to sign it into law. The passage of MLSA ensures that the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) can continue its federal leadership role by administering the numerous programs in the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) portion of the bill. This bill received bipartisan support from both Republicans and Democrats in both House and the Senate. --------------------------- UPCOMING EVENTS & WORKSHOPS
