Nome Eskimo Community

The Nome Eskimo Community library will expand its summer reading program and other literacy-based youth programming during the school year so that more Alaska Native students can participate. They plan to bring literacy programs to a site at the Tribal Hall and incorporate them into existing youth service programs held at that location. The library also will purchase additional books and materials targeted for youth, including Alaska Native and American Indian resources. To learn more about culturally relevant programming that the library might incorporate into its services, the director will participate in the annual conference of the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums.
