Fort Washakie School and Community Library has been awarded a coveted invitation to attend the March 4-7 National Humanities Council summit, “Picturing America in Our Nation’s Libraries,” in conjunction with PBS’s “Celebration of Teaching and Learning.”
Wyoming will be represented exclusively by Fort Washakie Library, which benefited from a Wyoming Humanities Council Picturing America grant for a field trip to the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole in 2009.
Project director Robin Levin will learn from sixty-nine other librarians who won this honor and will attend high-power educational sessions. Katherine Patterson, award-winning children’s author and 2010 children’s literary ambassador, is the keynote speaker. Other speakers include Queen Noor of Jordan, Queen Latifa, Bobby McFerrin, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
