Tribal Library Summer Youth Employee
Hi! My name is Melinda Lafferty and I am working with the SYE
Program. I work in the Tribal Library as a Library Aide. I wanted to
work in the library because it's a great place to be, it's quiet and there
is a great selection of books. Not only that, the library has movies too.
There are computers with internet access to use for homework and
browsing. Library cards are issued to Tribal members and to local com
munity members. So knowing that please come and get a book and or
a movie and check the place out. Hope to see you there!
