In 1995, Blue Lake Rancheria established the ๐ฆ๐๐น๐๐ถ๐ฎ ๐. ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐. Since then, the library has grown to include more than 4,000 books, along with additional resources available through the Libby Digital Library. We have been grateful to provide this meaningful resource to our community.
Unfortunately, due to a recent Executive Order affecting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the source of our grant funding, our library services are temporarily on hold until further notice.
While this pause is unexpected, our dedication to the libraryโs mission remains strong. Reflecting on the heart of this work, librarian ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ shared:
