Arctic Slope Regional Corporation

The Arctic Slope Regional Corporation supports the Tuzzy Consortium Library in providing culturally responsive services and collections that enrich the lives and expand the horizons of the people of the North Slope of Alaska through its library services. It helps support a library technician at each location to maintain and improve core library services and organize activities such as summer reading programs. It will also support travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development conferences to help strengthen the library services. The project will provide direct benefit to eight village libraries that are among the few educational and informational options available to residents of those remote, isolated areas, including Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Nuiqsut, Kaktovik, Point Hope, Point Lay, Wainwright and Utqiagvik.
