Tohono O'odham Nation

The Tohono O’odham Nation will support literacy programming for preK-3rd grade by purchasing supplies for library programming, books, and annual subscriptions to deliver core library services. It will also pay for internet connectivity and Wi-Fi for library patrons. Funds will also support travel and registration costs for staff to participate in a professional development opportunity. Library staff will develop literacy programs, work with Elders to deliver intergenerational programming, and increase the relevance of youth-oriented library materials and resources to support literacy for children and families. The project will provide direct benefit to the tribal citizens through library services at the Venito Garcia Library with a focus on youth.
