The "Jen Jen" book bus library will promote library services and increase circulation of books, eBooks, and audiobooks, as well as educational programming. The project will benefit 682 citizens within a 50-mile radius of tribal headquarters, with a goal of serving and positively impacting all 3,438 tribal citizens across U.S. in the future. The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma will create an early childhood STEM program, technical education opportunities for toddlers, tribal youth, and tribal elders, and access to iPads for reading eBooks and/or listening to audiobooks.
