Navajo Nation Library Book Drive Begins Anew

The second phase of the Navajo Nation Library Book Drive has begun.

The first shipment of 12,000 books and 10 computers shipped in early November to the Navajo Nation Library in Window Rock, Arizona.

68 boxes have already been collected and sorted for another shipment of books that will take place this spring.

The Navajo Nation Library Book Drive is collecting 100,000 books and 100 computers for the Navajo Nation Library. The library serves the 27,000 sq. mile Navajo Nation in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
