What kinds of libraries serve American Indians?
Libraries in schools or community colleges, community libraries and tribal libraries may serve peoples living on reservations. Since many such libraries are geographically remote, obtaining adequate staff, training, materials and facilities is ofte n a challenge. Native Americans who do not live on reservations often seek to develop or maintain cultural identity. Although they may have access to larger libraries, including academic libraries, such libraries may not have the kinds of culturally speci fic materials that meet the needs of these patrons.
