Washoe Tribe of Nevada & California

The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California intends to develop the full potential of its Woodfords Community Library in response to community feedback requesting more library staff, evening and weekend hours, organized family activities, and relevant materials to draw on for increased cultural programming. New youth activities will include read-a-thons, preschool story time with a focus on pre literacy skills, pillows and PJ's movie nights, a creative writing club, and digital literacy classes in their new computer center. New eReaders and eBooks will enhance the digital experience for everyone, while the library will host book clubs and a cultural lecture series for adults. It will offer a program series of traditional Washoe seasonal cultural activities, expressed through language, art, stories, crafts, and songs appropriate for each season, culminating in a summer cultural fair with the theme “Celebrate Our Roots.”
