Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians

The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians will purchase books, office supplies, subscriptions, and software to support its existing operations and to maintain core library services for its community. The library will maintain little free libraries, increase outreach efforts, and hold cultural storytelling and book club events to engage the larger tribal community. It will improve services for tribal citizens who live outside the reservation area or are homebound by shipping book club materials and holding virtual events. The library will also support travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development meetings and conferences. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens, including those who live outside of the library’s immediate service area.
