Outreach is also important in the plans of Bezhigoogahbow Library at Leech Lake Tribal College in Minnesota. Located on tribal lands, the library does not receive city, county, or state funding, so the Bookapalooza grant will help build the children’s collection where it is much needed. As well, some of the books will undergird increased outreach to the fourteen community centers on the Leech Lake Reservation, bringing the library to the community.
