<span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#4F5452">We’ve also worked on improving eligibility of entities who can receive these stimulus funds. We are in the process of developing 49 new Tribal libraries on the Navajo Nation or with
other Tribal branches across New Mexico and Arizona. The Governor wanted to make sure that the Navajo Nation could get ARPA funds to establish those libraries, which are seen as key to getting infrastructure like broadband and information resources to the
Navajo Nation. Accomplishing this required another administrative code change to give us more flexibility on who could be eligible for that funding. This is the first time that we’ve made administrative code changes in recent memory. </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#36495F"></span></p>

on trying to understand young people who are either in the upper grades or recent high school graduates. By talking to people who serve that group (school counselors, teachers, artists) and, of course, young people themselves, we hope to gain new insights
into how libraries and museums can serve them. Maybe they were library or museum users when they were younger, but how do we engage them in a co-creation process? How can we be relevant to their lives?

services to the homebound, almost all of them said that it was on their to-do list but it was hard to find time to identify people who are homebound, make those connections, get them a library card, and figure out what kind of books they wanted. In New Mexico,
since the pandemic, these services have been formalized. I think because so many of us became homebound, it really raised this awareness of people who have always lived like this. We’re developing new ways of serving people who are stuck in their homes, and
it needs to become more of a permanent part of what we do. </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#36495F"></span></p>

They've done a lot with vaccinations, which has greatly assisted all residents, including those who don't speak English or don't have access to the online vaccination software portal. One day I drove by when they had a vaccination clinic going and the line
was around the block. I've never seen anything like it for a vaccination clinic.
