We're thankful for you! As we move into November and the darkness creeps earlier and earlier, we wanted to take a mindful pause and thank you for your support of the Stayton Public Library. We also want to thank you for bringing in your tiny art for display throughout October, as well as sharing your painted pumpkins with us for our 2nd pumpkin painting contest. Did you miss the displays? Check out our photo albums at the link below. If you brought art, you have until November 12th to pick it up, if you can't make it by then, give us a call.

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month we've created lists that highlight books from Indigenous voices. We have selections for adults, children, and teens.

Stayton Public Library recognizes that it sits on the ancestral home of the Santiam tribe of the Kalpuyan people. Under the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, which gave all the Willamette Valley to the U.S., the indigenous inhabitants of the land were forcibly removed. Present-day most of the Kalapuyan people belong to the Confederated Tribes of Grande Ronde.

For more information on the Kalapuyan people check out the following:

Kalapuyan Tribal History, from Dr. David G. Lewis, anthropologist
Kalapuyan Peoples, from The Oregon Encyclopedia
Kalapuya: Native Americans of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, research guide from Lane Community College
