Organized Village of Kake

The Charles "Topsy" Johnson Tribal Library and Archive will expand its collection with the purchase of new books and materials that focus on Tlingit language, culture, art, and history, and will preserve them for future generations' use. The library serves a remote community on the northwest coast of Kupreanof Island in Southeast Alaska that is accessible only by boat or small plane. Given that geographic location and isolation, the community relies heavily on the library for services. The library also will plan and implement a series of outreach programs to share information about Tlingit history and culture.
