Chilkoot Indian Association

The Haines Borough Public Library will purchase library materials and supplies to support its existing operations and improve core library services for their community. To respond to increasing online-only interactions, they will also support costs for their Integrated Library Catalog to increase accessibility, findability and availability for their collections. This includes enhancing cataloguing descriptions through the incorporation of Tlingit language to highlight their Native Alaskan Collection, particularly in their children’s collection. The project will provide direct benefit to Haines Borough in rural Alaska, which serves a population of 2,080 with 10.8% identified as Alaska Native.
