Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma

The Tonkawa Tribe will purchase library materials and programming supplies to support its existing operations, a Summer Reading program, and tutoring service for tribal students, and to maintain core library services for its community. Tutoring services will not only help students improve their grades but there will also be opportunities to attend STEM-based programming and cultural programming. It will support travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development meetings and conferences and will offer learning opportunities to community members in a variety of formats to strengthen community engagement and improve educational programs related to specific topics and content areas of interest to library patrons and community-based users. The project will provide direct benefit to the Tonkawa tribal citizens within its project service area.
