Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma

The Tonkawa Tribe will purchase two new computers for the library computer lab, and book and magazine subscriptions to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services for its community. The computer lab is a vital community resource that promotes digital literacy, and many adults use the computers when studying for their GED exams. The library will offer interactive programs including after school tutoring, storytelling, and a trip to a local science museum to engage youth with Tonkawa history, and science, technology, engineering, and math. In addition, funding will support travel for the library director to attend the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, & Museums conference. The project will provide direct benefit to the Tonkawa tribal citizens within its project service area.
