Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians

The Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians plans to expand library services for the Indians of the Santa Rosa Reservation in Anza, California. To support and assist students after school, they will increase the librarian's hours and availability. Monthly reading and learning events will help stimulate tribal children's interest in Indian culture and reading, as will four special events featuring a guest storyteller fluent in both the Cahuilla language and English. They will catalogue the current inventory, purchase additional books to fill out any gaps in the existing collections, and conduct an annual library assessment to improve programs and services. This librarian will also attend conferences to enhance skills.
