Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation

The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation will use grant funds to expand its collection of books, eBook subscriptions, and supplies to help manage its growing collection and maintain core library services to its community. The library will hold a summer reading program and will purchase books and supplies to support youth literacy. In addition, funds will be used to pay for hotspot connectivity and fuel to support book distribution and storytelling at Head Start locations. Funds will also support travel and registration costs for the Librarian to participate in skill-enhancing professional development conferences. The work of this project will support the needs of community members with a special focus on youth literacy.
