Swinomish Indian Tribal Community

The Susan Wilbur Early Education Center library will continue to expand its collection of books and resources, giving priority to growing the collection of culturally relevant materials, especially those of the Coast Salish People. The library will continue prioritizing literacy, with an emphasis on holistic and nature-based approaches to early learning. They will establish outdoor “reading spots” that will provide teachers and children access to materials in a variety of outdoor settings, while a summer reading program will engage parents as well as children and in increasing literacy. Staff will also participate in online trainings focused on literacy to help them best meet the needs of the community.
