Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe-Saginaw Chippewa Academy (Mount Pleasant, Mich.)

About

The Saginaw Chippewa Academy will use Bookapalooza materials to create an age-appropriate library for its students. Presently the library collection is for eighth graders and older, while the school serves students in pre-K through sixth grade. Also the library receives no funding outside of small donations from their parent group. The librarian plans to use the collection to promote independent reading with a genres project and will utilize materials during summer school.

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
