Description

The Native American Library Services Enhancement Grants program (NAE) is designed to assist eligible Native Communities in sustaining and improving library services with their communities. As information needs change, Tribal libraries must be able to serve as knowledge and resource centers to benefit their users and the wellness of their communities. The NAE program supports Native Communities across the country to address their individual information needs and priorities. NAE projects may involve, but are not limited to, activities such as: • educational programming for all ages; • oral history collection and documentation; • digital media and technology enhancements; • institutional planning and policy development; • professional training, internships, and mentorships; • supporting and engaging with cultural practitioners and scholars; • research and development of language and cultural material and tools; • digitization and digital preservation, and • furnishing of library spaces for staff and public, within existing constructed spaces (please note that IMLS funds are not allowed for construction).
