Title: ARPA: Koniag Tribal Library
State Project Code: EASY22-024
Start Date: 10/01/2021
End Date: 09/30/2022
Abstract: ARPA Easy funds supported ten months of janitorial services which kept the Koniag Cultural Library clean, sanitary, and safe for staff and researchers. The Molekule air filtration unit kept the circulating air in the Library purified. Staff used disinfecting wipes to keep library surfaces disinfected throughout the day.  Disposable face masks were used by staff and handed out to visitors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Nitrile gloves were used by staff to clean spaces and keep exposure to potentially contaminated surfaces to a minimum. The supplemental Library funds purchased bookshelves, a Library chair Library acquisitions, and office supplies. This allowed the Library to continue serving the Kodiak community. This most closely corresponds to Objective 2.2.
