Nome Eskimo Community

The focus of the IMLS FY18 Basic Grant funds includes expanding the Summer Reading Program offered at the City of Nome’s Kegoayah Kozga Library. This will increase the Library’s collection of Alaska Native and American Indian reading materials, DVD(s), CD(s) and other electronically formatted resources. A percentage of these funds will also cover the salary for summer staff who will assist with children’s programming. And finally, this grant will send the Library Director to the 2018 International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries and Museums.
