July 29, 2005: Oregon Library Collects Rare Native American Books
"Two years ago, there were only three titles by Native American writers in the Multnomah County Central Library's John Wilson Room, where the special collections and rare books are kept safe and cool.
Today, there are hundreds of novels, plays and collections of short stories and poems by Native Americans, and the goal is to collect all such books published in the U.S. and Canada. It's an ambitious project but one that fits well with the other core collections in the Wilson Room, according to librarian Jim Carmin."
