Humboldt County Library

Nico & Lola: Kindness Shared Between a Boy and a Dog, by Meggan Hill, photographs by Susan Graunke, published by Harper, and read for you by Ms. Tamara - need more be said . . . just that, this is one of Ms. Sue's all-time favorite teaching tools for cultivating compassion in our children, and in ourselves.

Angie Thomas is coming to town! Please find Registration info here.

The library’s YA Book Group is reading This Place: 150 Years of History Retold, by Alicia Elliot, and discussing it via Zoom on Thursday, April 15, at 6:00. Thanks to Yavanna Reynolds for this info: I have never liked the phrase, History is written by the victors.... Alicia Elliot states as this book begins ...just because stories are unwritten for a time doesn’t mean they’ll be unwritten forever... This Place is a collection of untold indigenous stories, retelling... moments of North American history from the last 150 years from a point of view that rarely gets the spotlight. Powerfully written and illustrated, these stories tell of a world lost because as Alicia points out ...as indigenous people, we all live in a post apocalyptic world. The world as we knew it ended the moment colonialism started to creep across these lands.
