In celebration of Native American History Month, ACDL is partnering with Kent State University for their 2021-2022 NEA-funded Big Read initiative. They have selected Joy Harjo’s An American Sunrise as their Big Read title. An American Sunrise is a book of poetry and Harjo’s personal dialogue with history, as she revisits the homelands of her Native American ancestors 200 years after their forced removal. It explores themes of family, grief, and injustice. We will be creating art inspired by Harjo's poems and Native American music. All art materials supplied. Please contact the library for a copy of this book prior to the art lab. Refreshments will be served. For more information contact the Ashtabula Library at 440-997-9341.
