Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians

The focus of the FY 19 Basic Grant Funds will be to continue to provide and maintain the existing library services through the Heritage Library to the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa community. Grant funding will help the staff to provide an opportunity for people to access and use electronic information, promote community interaction and inclusion, deliver a mix of resources, activities, and services to the benefit of our users, and assist in maintaining and enhancing those already proven successful activities such as summer enrichment reading program, after-school and summer tutoring, and special community and cultural presentations and events. Funding will also cover some program administration costs for local mileage, reproduction, program materials, contractual wages and travel related costs for staff training.
