Coming in January: The “Get Fired Up for Reading” program will
begin Jan. 15 and end Feb. 28. The library aligns this program with
the Chinese New Year, which is Jan. 31 through Feb. 14 in 2014. For
each book that is read we will add a dragon scale that states the book
title and reader’s name. The more books that are read the bigger our
dragon will be. In 2013, readers read 211 books. Let’s try to break that
record in 2014! This reading incentive program is for all ages.
Donations: Many thanks to the following contributors to the library
collection: Leslie Riggs, Tribal Legal Department and the Sheridan
