Eastern Shoshone Tribe

The Fort Washakie Library in Fort Waskahie, Wyoming will purchase books focused on Native authors and themes, library processing and repair items, and literacy promotional materials to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services for its community. Funding will support the Fort Washakie School/Community Library salaries for an aide and the library executive director. In addition, funds will maintain costs associated with operating its outreach program, Moby Bookmobile, including book purchases and road mileage. Staff will also strengthen professional development skills through webinar registrations and membership in several library associations. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens and Wind River Indian Reservation community members within its project service area.
