Libraries Are For Everyone: Sahaptin

ByHafuboti

Dean of Libraries Rebecca L. Lubas at the James E. Brooks Library, reached out to me with the Sahaptin #LAFE translation. She had reached out to the illustrious Dr. Virginia Beavert for the translation. How wonderful is that?

The literal translation is “everybody’s library.”

Sahaptin is the language of the Yakama nation. And I am deeply honored that these signs will be shared with the Yakama Nation Library.

Thank you both, Dr. Beavert and Rebecca, for making these signs possible!

Near the end of August, I think everyone on my team were sort of shell shocked at how much we put on our plates right after Summer Reading Program. I have to say that our planning session for September’s theme was one of the shortest ever. Here’s a reenactment in script&nbsp;form: <strong><em>September: a play in…
