Lummi Nation

The Lummi Nation library will implement a series of Native storytelling events for community members. A “teller” will perform a traditional story, then lead activities to help attendees create and share their own stories. The events are designed to engage families and to strengthen their sense of community and identity. The library also will expand its collection to include additional works by Native authors and new materials on topics of importance to the community, including health and wellness issues. They will select materials with input from the Lummi Nation School library specialist and the Whatcom County Library Systems’ youth services librarians. To better serve the community, library staff will participate in professional development conferences, workshops, and trainings.
