Santa Clara Pueblo

The Santa Clara Pueblo Community Library will bridge community information and literacy challenges through increased staffing, connectivity, and expanded access to digital resources through an improved library web page and year-round reading programs. The library will collaborate with tribal schools, community programs, and community members to create, promote, and provide educational services and materials, with a special emphasis on the history of the Pueblo. In addition, the library will offer program development, classes, events, tools, and resource development. Community members can encourage each other to increase their literacy activities by using a mobile library designated in specific housing communities throughout the Pueblo, learn dialogic teaching approaches to increase literacy skills, and contribute to an archive reflecting the impact of the 2011 fire and flooding that devastated the Santa Clara Pueblo.
