SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS is the primary source of federal
support for the nation's libraries and museums. We advance, support,
and empower America's museums, libraries, and related organizations
through grant making, research, and policy development. To learn more,
visit <a href="http://www.imls.gov">www.imls.gov</a>.
Current Actions: The purpose of the Native American Library
Services Basic Grants Program is to assist Native American tribes in
improving library services for their communities. IMLS recognizes that
information needs, and approaches to meeting them, are evolving at an
unprecedented pace in all communities, and to operate within this
environment effectively for the benefit of their users, libraries must
be able to both strengthen existing services and move quickly to adopt
new and emerging technologies.
The two goals for this program will be (1) to improve services for
learning and accessing information in a variety of formats to support
needs for education, workforce development, economic and business
development, health information, critical thinking skills, and digital
literacy skills; and (2) to enhance the skills of the current library
workforce and leadership through training, continuing education, and
opportunities for professional development.
This action is to renew the forms and instructions for the Notice
of Funding Opportunities for the next three years.
The 60-Day Notice was published in the Federal Register on November
