Our Library’s Mission

The mission of the library is to support the Northwest Indian College and the Lummi Community with research, informational, tribal, and recreational resources that enhance life-long learning.

COLLECTIONS IN THE LIBRARY

  • Circulating collections: the library circulates materials of general interest and those that support the curriculum. There is a focus on Native American materials, particularly of the Pacific Northwest Coast, and with strengths in law, education, and art. Video materials include popular and educational titles. Young peoples’ collections include picture books, fiction, and nonfiction.
  • Non-circulating collections: the reference collection includes general and subject-specific titles such as encyclopedias and handbooks. Items of local interest which would be difficult to replace are housed in special collections. The Vine Deloria, Jr. Special Collection houses the author’s personal library.

COMPUTER LAB

Computers with internet access, Microsoft Office software, and printing capacity are available to the college and community. There is also wireless access throughout the building.

ONLINE CHAT WITH A LIBRARIAN

The librarian you chat with will not be from the Lummi Library, but will be available 24/7 to answer your reference questions and will have access to the library’s databases.

Special Collection
