Penobscot Indian Nation

The Penobscot Nation Library in Indian Island, Maine, provides several important services to the tribal community and will focus on enhancing collections and making their library space welcoming. Many residents do not have computers or internet connections at home, and the library provides their only access to that technology, which is increasingly important in today’s online world. Patrons use the computer lab to enroll in educational programs, conduct job searches, or research a topic of personal interest. The library also connects patrons with food pantries, health services, and other local programs that help meet basic needs.
