together to transform the lives of individuals and communities. To 
learn more, visit www.imls.gov.
    Current Actions: IMLS is requesting the approval of the Notice of 
Funding Opportunity for the following grant program for the next three 
years. Native Hawaiian grants are competitive grants available to carry 
out activities, described in 20 U.S.C. 9141, that enhance existing 
library services or implement new library services. Native Hawaiian 
Library Services grants are available to nonprofit organizations that 
primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians (as the term is defined 
in 20 U.S.C. 7517). The term ``Native Hawaiian'' refers to an 
individual who is a citizen of the United States and a descendant of 
the aboriginal people who, before 1778, occupied and exercised 
sovereignty in the area that now comprises the State of Hawaii. 
Successful Native Hawaiian grant projects should result in measureable 
changes and outcomes, such as increased understanding, interest, and 
confidence among participants. Successful Native Hawaiian grant 
projects support the activities described in 20 U.S.C. 9141, for 
example:
     Support for individuals' needs for education, lifelong 
learning, workforce development, and digital literacy skills;
     improvement of the quality of and access to library and 
information services; and
     enhancement of the skills of the current library workforce 
and leadership.
    This action is to renew the forms and instructions for the Notice 
of Funding Opportunities for the next three years.
