Centering Washington Tribal Libraries: Establishing the Foundations

Abstract

In this article, we will describe a project called “Centering Washington Tribal Libraries: Building Relationships and Understanding Libraries from the Stories of Their Communities,” hereafter referred to as CWATL, based at the University of Washington Information School (UW iSchool). This one-year project, sponsored by a Mellon Foundation Public Knowledge grant, is designed to establish a foundation for working with Washington tribal communities and listening to the stories these communities tell about their libraries.
