Kim Yerton
Branch of the Humboldt County
Library — Hoopa, CA Year: 2007 Amount: $ 10,000 Grant: National Award for
Library Service As California's only joint county - tribal
library on an Indian reservation, the Kim Yerton
Branch of the Humboldt County
Library has become a center for the
rural community of Hoopa Valley, connecting thousands of residents of all ages with Native American reading materials, computer access and the prospect of a better life through literacy.
Patrons with limited access to their
library's physical
branch, including adults living with disability and those who live in very
rural areas, mentioned how e-books helped them read more.
