The Oglala Lakota College Library, with its several branches, is the only community library for the entire Pine Ridge Reservation. Located in the beautiful but harsh Badlands of South Dakota, Pine Ridge has the lowest per capita income in the U.S. and not a single bookstore. The librarians are working hard to improve services for children--and you can help by
donating new books for them to borrow.
The books listed here are those requested by the library. You can purchase them from Greenlight Bookstore and they will be shipped to the library free of charge. (Please note the quantities needed for each title; quantities will be updated as books are purchased.)
This list is a collaboration with ReadThis, an all-volunteer group which brings
books to book-hungry public schools, libraries and social-service
organizations. Like us on Facebook at and check us out at www.readthisbook.us. New volunteers always welcome!
