Honoring Indigenous Peoples & Native Americans: Learning, Listening, and Celebrating at the Library

Many communities observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day & Native American Heritage Month, shifting the focus away from celebrating colonization and toward honoring the first peoples of this land—their histories, cultures, and ongoing contributions.

For libraries, this isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a reminder of our responsibility: to tell fuller stories, to amplify Indigenous & Native American voices, and to make sure our shelves, programs, and spaces reflect the people whose lands we’re on.

Our library invites you to join us in celebration, reflection, and learning.

Whether you're lounging by the pool or hiding from the heat, crack open a spine-tingling tale that'll chill you to the bone...even in 90+-degree weather.
