Native American Literature Focus of New Collection
August 04, 2005
The Multnomah County Library has set its sights on gathering the most comprehensive collection of Native American literature on the West Coast.
The library has already acquired rare manuscripts and first edition copies of books by well-known Native writers such as Sherman Alexie and Leslie Marmon Silko.
The library hopes its new collection can draw attention not only to those authors, but also to lesser-known writers who have remained in obscurity for more than 150 years.
