Tribal Communities

The Library's Partnership with Tribal Colleges

In 1998, the National Agricultural Library (NAL) began a unique relationship with tribal colleges. Each year, NAL shares a list of recently published books on agriculture and Native American culture with tribal college libraries. The libraries review the list, make selections, and NAL mails the books to the institutions. NAL sends up to 2,000 books to tribal college libraries every year.

NAL also provides free borrowing and interlibrary loan  services for tribal land-grant colleges.
