The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has awarded $1,217,000 to 208 Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages as part of the Native American Library Services program. With this funding, the libraries will be able to strengthen their core services for the benefit of the tribal communities and villages they serve. Click here for a list of grant recipients.
The awardees may use their funds to support existing library operations; maintain core library services; and, with the Education/Assessment Option, provide their library staff with continuing education courses, training workshops, or the opportunity to present at conferences. These recipients may also hire a consultant for an on-site professional library assessment. Basic Grants are in the amount of $5,000, with an additional $1,000 for the Education/Assessment Option.
