WELCOME TO LUMMI LIBRARY!
THE 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 our Pacific Northwest special collection.
The Vine Deloria, Jr. Special Collection
houses the author’s personal library. We also have a growing collection of table top  games for library use.
