The more books in or near the home, the more likely a child will learn and love to read. In tribal communities, book access is a challenge, as most do not have their own public libraries. The goal of the Indigenous Library Program is to work with Indigenous community leaders and members to place book exchanges in locations where book access is important to improving literacy.
Featured in these Indigenous Library products is original artwork by Anishinaabe artist Sarah Agaton Howes. She is from the Fond du Lac reservation in Northern Minnesota and is widely known for her handmade regalia and moccasins featuring Ojibwe floral designs and through her brand, Heart Berry.
All proceeds from the products below will directly support the Indigenous Library Program.
