Chilkat Indian Village

The IMLS Basic Grant will help: 1) continue to provide services and programs to patrons and 2) upgrade technology and access. Staff will work on collection development activities and planning and hosting cultural programs. They will also work with an IT consultant to migrate the Online Public Catalog to a tribally owned server and to establish a wireless network in the library. These activities will build capacity. In some cases it will be the capacity of the patrons, while in others it will be the capacity of staff and the library. The project is based on needs identified through patron input, the Library's long-range plan, and the tribe's and Library's technology plan.
