Native Hawaiian Library Services Grants (2026)

The Native Hawaiian Library Services Grants (2026), funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, aim to support Native Hawaiian organizations in enhancing library services. These grants enable libraries to adapt to changing information needs, serving as vital community knowledge centers. By addressing individual priorities, this initiative fosters wellness and resource access for Native Hawaiian communities across the islands and beyond, ensuring they can effectively meet the diverse needs of their users.

The Native Hawaiian Library Services (‘NH’) program is designed to assist Native Hawaiian serving organizations in sustaining and improving library services with their communities. As information needs change, Native Hawaiian organizations must be able to serve as knowledge and resource centers to benefit their users and the wellness of their communities. The NH program supports organizations across the islands and country to address their individual information needs and priorities.
