Barona Band of Mission Indians

The Barona Band of Mission Indians and the Joan Phoenix Library will provide a wider selection of digital offerings through the Libby reading app for adult community members, new titles for circulation (with a focus on books for grades K–8), more educational programming opportunities, as well as supplies to assist with preservation measures for the existing collection. There is a growing demand for services that has been experienced since the pandemic began and is expected to continue in the next fiscal year.  Funds will also support extended public hours of operation and will provide support for staff to travel for training at professional conferences. This project will benefit the Barona community members, Barona Indian Charter School students, and researchers.
