Bishop Indian Tribal Council

The Tuniwa Nobi (Paiute for "Teaching House") Family Literacy Program houses three libraries: the Native American books library for young adults and adults; the parenting resource library for parents and educators; and the children's library for toddlers to middle-school age children. They plan to expand library services and intertwine cultural information and traditions in the literacy programs. Staff will partner and collaborate with existing tribal programs to enhance and expand the library's collection to include culturally appropriate and relevant literature. Staff also will participate in the annual conference of the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museum to learn best practices in serving library patrons.
