<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hello! I just learned about a new book digitization project that may be of interest to those of you looking for Native American Children’s books. The University of New Mexico created a Digitized
Native American children’s book database which is available online at:<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><a href="http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2Fchildren">http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2Fchildren</a>. Obviously these aren’t tangible books that children and families can check out from your library and take home, but
they may fulfill some students/patrons needs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">For tangible, print books that represent the Native American culture appropriately, please remember the American Indians in Children’s Literature blog (<a href="http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2012/03/cradle-me-by-debbie-slier.html">http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2012/03/cradle-me-by-debbie-slier.html</a>)
is a great resources for materials selection. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">As always, be sure to use your library’s selection/collection development policy when determining whether or not to purchase any materials for your library.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
