Elk Valley Rancheria

Elk Valley Rancheria will support existing library operations, expand access to collections, and support professional development for staff. The Tribe will purchase new books, periodicals, and electronic resources to add variety to existing collections to increase interest to users. The Tribe will improve the children’s reading nook by honoring Tribal members and children who graduated from the Tribe’s Higher Education program to inspire other children seeking education. Finally, the Tribe will support staff salary and enable the Tribal Librarian to attend the 2024 International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries, and Museums for professional development. The project will provide direct benefit to the tribal citizens within its service area.
