Kaw Nation

The Kaw Nation and the Kanza Library and Learning Center will purchase books, culturally significant Native American reading materials, magazine subscriptions, and electronic resources to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services for its community. It will provide furnishings for a coffee nook/commons area, a desk for the Library Coordinator, and items for the children’s reading area. The library will offer interactive storytelling events as part of their childcare development program. Funding will support memberships to the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, & Museums and the American Library Association, and staff travel to attend conferences to enhance professional skills. Funds will also be used for book labeling materials, book covers, and tape to repair damaged books. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens and Kay County community members within its project service area.
