April book display: "We're still here": Indigenous Survivance Our last book display of the academic year is "We're still here": Indigenous Survivance. We have a great collection of books about this topic, so make sure to stop by and see what's available. All books are written by Native voices and focus on the active role Indigenous populations play in society today. Can't come to the library? Look at our virtual book display guide. We're including ebooks on the guide, which you can check out without physically coming into the library.
