Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians

The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians will purchase books and resources collection materials for their Heritage Library that benefit their users, as well as materials and supplies that maintain and enhance core library services with particular focus on addressing student academic and achievement gaps with successful programs like their afterschool and summer tutoring, summer enrichment reading program, and cultural events. It will support travel for its library workforce to attend skill-enhancing professional development meetings and conferences that strengthen community engagement and improve educational programs related to specific topics and content areas of interest to their library patrons and community-based users. The project will provide direct benefit to the community members within its project service area.
