Native Village of Ouzinkie

The Ouzinkie Tribal Media Center will purchase books, materials and supplies, as well as a portion of the librarian’s salary that support its existing operations and maintain core library services. As the sole library on Spruce Island, the Tribal Media Center provides “access to the world outside their island via books, digital media, the internet, and more.” Funding will also support librarian to attend state library conference to stay abreast of current best practices and trends in Alaskan libraries. The project will provide direct benefit to community members in its project service area in the Kodiak Island Borough of southeast Alaska.
