“The Native American Basic Grants (NAB) program assists Native American Tribes in establishing, sustaining, and improving library services and operations 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 NAB program supports Tribes across the country to address their individual information needs and priorities. Program Goal: Improve library and archival services for accessing, learning, and preserving information with the community through the following objectives.
- Support the acquisition of library-related materials.
- Support programming for identified community priorities.
- Support training for library staff.
- Support project activities that include aspects of two or more of the objectives listed above.”
