Oneida Nation

The Oneida Nation will purchase books and program supplies to provide core library services and deliver programs for community members of all ages. From early learning/literacy programs for children to life-long learning opportunities for adults, the libraries will provide members of the community access to materials and services that improve reading and computer skills and encourage family learning and growth. Programs also will help increase cultural knowledge and understanding of the Oneida language. Elder and adult programs are being organized on arts, literature, and computer skills. The libraries plan to connect youth and their caregivers to other activities in the community. The grant will also support travel for its library workforce to conference, registration for skill-enhancing professional development opportunities and membership to library organizations. The project will provide direct benefit to the community with a focus on youth and Elders.
