Interested in supporting the library through volunteering and fundraising? 

Join our Friends of the Library Group!

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 2:30p in the library.
We have one major fundraiser a year, our Books & Bites Sale on the 1st Saturday in May in conjunction with the City-Wide Yard Sale.
​
Our new goal, after we received permission from the City of Craigmont, is to move the library across the street to 113 W Main!  And also install all new, cleverly designed book shelves in our library. This is a big project and we welcome all new members that would be willing to help us move forward and reach our goal.

We are always accepting gently used books for our annual sale and all donations.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.
Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
With a forward by Markus Zusak, interviews with Sherman Alexie and Ellen Forney, and four-color interior art throughout, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
