Santa Clara Pueblo

The Santa Clara Pueblo Community Library will pay for library staff and supplies to support existing library core operations and services. Additionally, library staff will have the opportunity to attend library-specific training and conferences to increase and update staff knowledge and skills in library program operations. The pandemic resulted in much loss and isolation; gathering once again in the essential community space that is their tribal library, presents opportunities to learn, read, and heal together. With efforts to continue to build upon the library's educational and community resources going forward, it is essential for the community to understand their world and unique Pueblo history through sharing, preserving, and accessing resources unique to their tribal community. Core library services will focus on reader’s advisory, technology access, reference, collection development, circulation, technology support, safe gathering spaces, and collecting archival resources unique to Santa Clara Pueblo.
