Celebrate Native American History Month with the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ). To further honor the month, our Montgomery branch staff have curated a special book display and created a unique take-home craft.
"My hope for this display is to shine a spotlight on our rich Indigenous heritage in New Jersey," said Alicia Bloch-Chen, adult services library assistant.
