Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe will continue to serve as important partners in addressing the needs of the community to support its existing operations and to improve core library services. It will support the delivery of essential services, providing patrons with access to information and educational resources that include Anishinaabe culture and language materials, Native American-focused resources, professional materials, and curricular support materials. It will support mobile outreach through hotspots and provide critical services outside the library walls. The library will also renew regional and statewide partnerships with the Chippewa River District Library system and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services to expand offerings such as interlibrary lending. It will also support travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development conferences to help strengthen the library services. The project will provide direct benefit to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and its surrounding community.
