Staff from the NDSU Extension Service in Benson and Ramsey Counties delivered books to the Cankdeska Cikana Community College Valerie Merrick Memorial Library in Fort Totten, N.D., on Nov. 14.
Last summer, President Chapman and NDSU Extension leadership groups visited tribal colleges and identified a need for books at the tribal college libraries in the K-12 age groups. The titles include collections of Dr. Seuss, Sesame Street and Harry Potter. The books are available for checkout by the community.
According to Jenny Steinhaus, Benson County Extension agent, staff from across the state collected the donated books at the annual Extension/Research Extension Center Fall Conference held Oct. 27-30 at NDSU.
