Oneida Indian Nation

The Oneida Indian Nation will use funds for the library administrator's salary to continue existing operations and maintain core library services for the community. Located in the Ray Elm Children & Elders Center in the Nation's Village of the White Pines housing community, the Oneida Nation Library has resumed regular library services after closure and reduced hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The library administrator will maintain popular services implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic including pick-up and delivery service conducted through the elders congregate and take-home meal service, the Early Learning Center, and employee interoffice mail. The library also aims to increase outreach to their user base, primarily children from the Early Learning Center and their families, elders, and Nation employees. The project will provide direct benefit to the Oneida Indian Nation community.
