Local families with young readers are welcome to browse the collection, choose a book and spend some time reading on site or at home with their young readers.  The goal of the collection is to strengthen literacy skills while building self-esteem, cultural identity, pride and connectivity.  A reading guide is provided to enhance the  learning experience.
