Nooksack Indian Tribe

The Nooksack Indian Tribe will promote community, literacy, education, employment, and ongoing reading enjoyment by providing culturally relevant materials, services, and programs through its library services. It will purchase basic subscriptions, supplies, internet subscriptions, and books to maintain and improve core library services. It will support digital literacy classes for Tribal elders and teens, after school tutoring for ages K-12, and books to go along with the summer youth program for 120 tribal youth. The library will also provide opportunities for patrons to use computers, check out books, prepare resumes, search for employment online, write college essays and complete scholarship applications. The project will provide direct benefit to the nearly 1,911 tribal citizens within its project service area with a special emphasis on tribal elders and youth.
