Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians

The Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians will purchase books, newspapers, magazines, educational games, movies, and educational DVDs to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services. The library will hold regular hours, Monday through Friday, to provide opportunities for patrons to use computers, check out books or movies, prepare resumes, create email accounts, search for employment online, search for and fill out college scholarship applications, and prepare applications for federal student aid. The library will also provide enriched learning experiences for children enrolled in Early Head Start and Head Start programs on the reservation with a focus on those activities that will prepare them to move to the next level (i.e., Head Start and Kindergarten). The project will provide direct benefit to tribal members as well as the Watersmeet community.
