OFPL Economic Impact Survey

In March, the U. S. Congress passed, and the President signed, the CARES Act, legislation designed to provide economic help for Americans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the law, most households would receive an “Economic Impact Payment” (a “stimulus check”) of $1,200 per adult and $500 per child under 17 years old, or up to $3,400 for a family of four.

It’s now July — have you gotten your payment yet?

Please take a moment to share your experience with us so that we can better serve the needs of the community.

Book Signing with Author: Farina King

Join us at the Main Library on Saturday, January 18th at 4:00 p.m., for a book signing and discussion of: The Earth Memory Compass: Diné Landscapes and Education in the Twentieth Century.

The Diné, or Navajo, have their own ways of knowing and being in the world, a cultural identity linked to their homelands through ancestral memory. The Earth Memory Compass traces this tradition as it is imparted from generation to generation.

The book follows Farina King’s search for her own Diné identity as she investigates the interconnections among Navajo students, their people, and Diné Bikéyah—or Navajo lands—across the twentieth century. Farina King, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, is an Assistant Professor of History and affiliated faculty of Cherokee and Indigenous Studies at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK.

Book Signing with Local Author: Dee Thompson

Join us at the Main Library on Saturday, January 11th at 3:00 p.m., for a book signing of: Shattered Dreams, Bondage and Hope.

Dee Thompson describes the turbulent and often traumatic past of a woman who struggled to overcome her past traditions and establish her own identity as a scholar. Growing up in the early 1900’s on the Navajo Reservation, her life was largely influenced and dominated by ancient teachings and practices of her culture until she was introduced to an ominous evil that held her captive for many years.

Thompson was born on the Navajo Reservation in Pinedale and is a native of New Mexico now living in Gallup.  The inspiration behind her book will be presented along with a book signing.
