Native books to keep young readers engaged this summer

6/30/2026 8:46:00 AM - Education Dept.

These would be perfect titles to read while you’re doing the library’s Summer Reading Program, Gindaasan Ensa Giizhigak (Read Every Day)! Stop in to pick up a packet (or we can interoffice to your department). Don’t miss your chance to win gift cards just by reading (including listening to audiobooks)! And it’s nice and cool in the Tribal Library with comfortable seating, so please stop by to enjoy the AC while it’s so hot outside.
