Minnesota Chippewa Tribe/Leech Lake Band

On behalf of the Leech Lake Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School in Bena, MN, will implement the Library Services Opportunity and Renovation Project to better serve students and surrounding communities. While adding extensive collection materials for all ages, the school library will also be made available to community members after school and during special events. A new library assistant will help with processing new materials and helping community members learn how to use the library’s resources. New computers in the library and a portable computer lab of 18 laptops will greatly expand technology access in the school, while new furnishings will create a friendly, inviting atmosphere.
