Libraries Are For Everyone: Diné Bizaad

ByHafuboti

I cannot even begin to express how excited I am to finally have First Nation representation in this sign series!

Please know that I’m happy and very willing to make signs in every language that is submitted to me – so please submit! And yes, I know that there are hundreds of Native languages in the Americas: I want to represent every. single. one.

A HUGE thank you to both daniellefraggle and Roz Johnson for making sure I have this beautiful Navajo version correct!

Artsy April Redux

Artsy April Redux

This year the schools’ art teachers graciously bowed out of the Artsy April community art show at the library. And so, my team set out to redefine Artsy April. And, like Decemberley, we decided for now to shift our focus to book illustrators. Natasia had the strongest idea and drive to focus on Dr. Seuss…
