Keweenaw Bay Indian Community

This IMLS Basic Grant will be used to update the collection of materials and replace outdated materials with new ones. Staff will maintain library services at the tribal government center satellite library site, which serves employees. As the collection is updated, older materials will be moved to other tribal community sites or shared with the tribe’s tutoring rooms in two high schools. A limited number of books will also be provided to the Early Childhood Education Center. By providing new reading materials to several different age groups of tribal members, many of whom are low-income, patrons will be served effectively. In addition, the staff will maintain a listing of upcoming publications for purchase and will also solicit the community’s requests.
