Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe

The Lower Elwha Tribal Community will purchase books, periodicals, software, and supplies to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services for its community. The library will hold regular hours during the day, Monday through Friday, for patrons and reserve afternoons for its After School Program for elementary-aged students to finish their homework, read, use computers for research, learn games, and have a nutritious snack. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, funds will also be used to establish a self-checkout area for patrons to make library materials more accessible. The library will also support travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development meetings and conferences. The project will provide direct benefit to the members of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.
