Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians

After its successful efforts to improve high school graduation rates, the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians is ready to expand its library from a K-12 focus to serve all community members with a broad range of materials. Space within the education building will be transformed to facilitate this expanded function. A contract librarian will be hired to organize and automate the existing collection, add new materials, and train local staff in the ongoing operation of a full-fledged public library. Expanded hours, computers with Internet access, and new furnishings will create a welcoming environment for the public at large and also for tribal members pursuing advanced training in order to assume tribal leadership roles in the future.
