Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes

The Fort Peck Tribal Library, serving the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation and located at the Fort Peck Community College, will enhance its technological capabilities by purchasing 12 new computers and workstations and providing wireless access points for laptops in the library. To encourage more preteens and teens to read, the library will invest in graphic novels, popular science fiction titles, and bestsellers. Adult reading discussion groups will be facilitated by local literary scholars who have expressed an interest in leading the reading groups. In addition, an estimated 32,000 pages of local newspapers and 14,400 microfilmed pages of the official tribal newspaper will be digitized and indexed by the University of Montana Mansfield Library and made accessible through the Montana Memory Project Web site.
