Friends of the Library donate books to Navajo school

Earlier this year, DFL's Stephanie Anderson met Denny Preisser, the school librarian at Monument Valley HS.  When he informed her of the school's need for books, she arranged for The Friends to donate the used books to the school's library, which shared them with families in the community. They were thanked with the gift of this beautiful print of the acrylic painting, "Hunter's Stalk" by renowned Navajo artist Shonto Begay.  It was signed by many of the grateful students. 

The Friends plan to continue the book donations to the Navajo community, carrying on the tradition of sharing the used books to help others.
