Little Free Library’s Indigenous Library Program provides no-cost Little Free Library boxes full of books to Indigenous communities with limited book access. This month we heard from a steward who was previously granted a library through our Indigenous Library Program and wanted to share their story.
Additionally, we granted 17 Indigenous Library Packages to applicants from schools, libraries, and nonprofit organizations in December.
Miranda O. — #213556 in Mahnomen, MN
Miranda O. is a recipient of a grant from our Indigenous Library Program! The library is inside the Naytahwaush Indian Health Services clinic located on the White Earth reservation in Minnesota. She painted the library with animals and included their Ojibwe names.
Miranda works at the clinic and wanted to give the community the opportunity to have free access to books for kids who may not have the luxury of buying their own or being able to travel to a further library. She also believes reading and learning should be available to all communities!
