Sequoyah Book Awards Logo

With this award, Oklahoma honors the Native American leader Sequoyah, for his unique achievement in creating the Cherokee syllabary. Sequoyah chose eighty-five symbols to represent all spoken sounds of the Cherokee language. In so doing, he created a way to preserve his people's language and culture.

The Sequoyah Book Award is a set of three annual awards for books selected by a vote of Oklahoma students in elementary, middle, and high schools

Thank You for Spreading Holiday Cheer! We are thrilled to share the heartwarming success of our recent holiday card collection initiative! Thanks to the generous contributions of the public, including children from the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa County, children from the City of Miami MSRP, and staff and students from Quapaw and Commerce Head Start, we were able to collect over 350 holiday cards for elders living in local care facilities. Your kindness and generosity have truly made a difference. The smiles on the residents' faces were priceless, and they have asked us to pass along a big Thank You! to everyone who participated. Your efforts have brought so much joy to our community's elders, proving once again the power of caring and sharing.

December's Young Adult Book Club will be at the new Starbucks from 4-5 PM this Thursday the 19th! We will be bring out some books for a "book tasting" and discussing your favorites! Bring your friends and let's have some fun.
