Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin

The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa will receive a grant to allow the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Ojibwe College Community Library to provide targeted services and materials to meet the critical needs of the community in the areas of traditional culture, health, and the environment. The LCO Library will provide a series of community programs revolving around the four seasons that will incorporate these topics and focus collection development in these areas. Promotional activities—such as “Greening Up with Local Libraries,” bookmark contests for Waadookodaading (Ojibwe language immersion charter school) students, photo exhibits, and topic-focused book displays—will be offered to highlight library services and increase use of the library. A traditional foods cookbook will be developed using community recipes and incorporating historical and modern photographs.
