2. Establishing or enhancing 

electronic and other linkages and 

improved coordination among and 

between libraries and entities, as 

described in 20 U.S.C. 9134(b)(6), for 

the purpose of improving the quality of 

and access to library and information 

services. 

3. (a) Providing training and 

professional development, including 

continuing education, to enhance the 

skills of the current library workforce 

and leadership, and advance the 

delivery of library and information 

services. 

(b) Enhancing efforts to recruit future 

professionals to the field of library and 

information services. 

4. Developing public and private 

partnerships with other agencies and 

community-based organizations. 

5. Targeting library services to 

individuals of diverse geographic, 

cultural, and socioeconomic 

backgrounds, to individuals with 

disabilities, and to individuals with 

limited functional literacy or 

information skills. 

6. Targeting library and information 

services to persons having difficulty 

using a library and to underserved 

urban and rural communities, including 

children (from birth through age 17) 

from families with incomes below the 

poverty line (as defined by the Office of 

Management and Budget and revised

9902(2) of Title 42) applicable to a 

family of the size involved. 

7. Developing library services that 

provide all users access to information

and international collaborations and 

networks.

Indian tribes are eligible to apply for 

funding under the Native American 

Library Services Enhancement Grant 

program. Entities such as libraries, 

schools, tribal colleges, or departments 

of education are not eligible applicants, 

although they may be involved in the 

administration of this program and their 

staff may serve as project directors in 

partnership with an eligible applicant. 

For purposes of funding under this 

program, ‘‘Indian tribe’’ means any 

tribe, band, nation, or other organized 

group or community, including any 

Alaska native village, regional 

corporation, or village corporation (as 

defined in, or established pursuant to, 

the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act 

(43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)), which is 

recognized by the Secretary of the 

Interior as eligible for the special 

programs and services provided by the 

United States to Indians because of their 

status as Indians. A list of eligible 

entities is available from the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs. 

To be eligible for this program you 

must be able to document an existing 

library that meets, at a minimum, three 

basic criteria: (1) Regularly scheduled 

hours, (2) staff, and (3) materials 

available for library users. 

This action is to renew the forms and 

instructions for the Notice of Funding 

Opportunities for the next three years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Institute of Museum and Library 

Services 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. Our vision is a nation 

where museums and libraries work 

together to transform the lives of 

individuals and communities. To learn 

more, visit www.imls.gov. 

Current Actions: IMLS is requesting 

the approval of the Notice of Funding 

Opportunity for the following grant 

program for the next three years. Native 

Hawaiian grants are competitive grants 

available to carry out activities, 

described in 20 U.S.C. 9141, that 

enhance existing library services or 

implement new library services. Native 

Hawaiian Library Services grants are 

available to nonprofit organizations that 

primarily serve and represent Native 

Hawaiians (as the term is defined in 20 

U.S.C. 7517). The term ‘‘Native 

Hawaiian’’ refers to an individual who 

is a citizen of the United States and a 

descendant of the aboriginal people 

who, before 1778, occupied and 

exercised sovereignty in the area that 

now comprises the State of Hawaii. 

Successful Native Hawaiian grant 

projects should result in measureable 

changes and outcomes, such as 

increased understanding, interest, and 

confidence among participants. 

Successful Native Hawaiian grant 

projects support the activities described 

in 20 U.S.C. 9141, for example: 

• Support for individuals’ needs for 

education, lifelong learning, workforce 

development, and digital literacy skills; 

• improvement of the quality of and 

access to library and information 

services; and 

• enhancement of the skills of the 

current library workforce and 

leadership. 

This action is to renew the forms and 

instructions for the Notice of Funding 

Opportunities for the next three years.
