Quote
“I commend the tribes awarded this year’s
Native American Library Services Enhancement Grants and
Native Hawaiian Library Services grant. By applying for
and receiving this funding, these tribes have made the
commitment to build upon their existing library services
and implement new initiatives to continually adapt to
the needs of their communities.”
