Petersburg Indian Association

The Petersburg Indian Association will purchase books and DVDs focused on business, school, and health-related topics, and start an Alaskan Native-specific collection to support its existing operations and maintain core library services for its community. The Petersburg Public Library will purchase books and DVDs that are geared toward the specific needs of the citizens of the remote island in the Alaskan panhandle that they serve. Through circulation metrics, a survey, and input from tribal members, the library will gauge interest and adjust collections purchasing focus as needed. The library will continue to build a body of materials that advance shared knowledge and learning opportunities for all. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens and the Petersburg community within its project service area.
