Shoshone-Bannock Tribes

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation will rebuild library services and infrastructure that was destroyed when the Library's roof collapsed in a natural disaster. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes will hire new library staff, purchase new equipment, purchase new content, establish new educational programming, and monitor performance measures to make program changes as needed. This project will address the low educational achievement of the reservation's low-income and underserved Native American population by facilitating lifelong learning and literacy, with a special emphasis on school-age children. The library will increase literacy capacity and resources for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, literary confidence among participants, and understanding of their history and culture.
