Guiding IMLS Funding to Meet the Needs of Tribal Librarians and Their Communities

The Tribal Libraries Convening will bring together a group of stakeholders, including Native American Library Services grantees and federal partners to celebrate and reflect back on multiple milestones in funding for tribal libraries, as well as to explore new needs moving forward.

The goals of the convening are to:

  • explore how to strengthen IMLS grant programs for tribal libraries in order to best support tribal librarians and the communities they serve
  • determine areas of need for capacity building
  • assist in the development of future funding opportunities
  • cultivate additional applications

IMLS will develop a report after the meeting that will highlight issues discussed, summarize overarching themes that emerged during the Convening, and encourage future grant proposals to address field-wide concerns.
