San Carlos Apache Tribe

The joint San Carlos Public Library/San Carlos Apache College Library will expand its reach to the four community districts of the San Carlos Apache Reservation (Bylas, Gilson Wash, Peridot, and Seven Mile), making it possible for more community members to access materials and become engaged with library programming and services. Many in the community lack consistent, reliable transportation, so visiting the downtown San Carlos library regularly is not possible. The new outreach locations will put small, non-circulating collections in convenient locations closer to patrons’ homes. They will design collections for patrons of all ages, and will include children’s books, newspapers, Apache Language and culture books, cookbooks, and other books on topics identified by the community.
