Hannahville Indian Community

The overall focus of this Basic grant will be to maintain a current inventory of books and magazines for all levels of readers. The need to replace, repair, and purchase new materials is necessary to maintain relevant holdings, specifically to better differentiate books available to targeted age groups who are at varying reading levels. Many of these readers have similar interests, however their reading levels can vary greatly. For this reason staff will focus on providing books across Lexile reading ranges to ensure that readers of similar ages and interests but varying reading levels can enjoy reading without boredom or frustration. While updating the inventory, special focus will be given to increasing selections related to and addressing trauma-informed care. This is in support of a community-wide effort to learn and implement new strategies sensitive to the impacts of trauma on individuals.
