Wyandotte Nation

The Wyandotte Nation will engage tribal citizens and the community through Project W.I.L.L. (Wyandotte's Increasing Learning at the Library,) which features activities that promote reading in order to create a nation of learners. The two-year project is designed to help library patrons and community-based users access literature through: creating, maintaining, and sustaining a Little Free Library book exchange program; coordinating and conducting STEM classes; enhancing a Book Club; and implementing a Summer Youth Library Program. The intended audience for the activities are primarily preschoolers and native youth; however, project activities will also reach adults and elders within the rural, tribal community. Intended outcomes of the project will result in measurable changes via surveys and interviews - and outcomes including increases in understanding, interest, and confidence for our targeted audience.
