Summer Reading 2025: Level Up at Your Library
Free Fun for All Ages
Every Wednesday June 18 – August 13
Outdoors on Fountain Plaza

Enjoy an interactive experience with Shuína Skó, a citizen of the Klamath Tribes, as they share their ancestral language, culture, and spoken word poetry. This performance will entertain and engage all ages through modern storytelling of some traditional cultural knowings. Shuína will explain how poetry and storytelling are tied to both the historical and present-day ways of Indigenous people. The audience will also be invited to participate in a game to learn words from the Klamath language that are woven into the storytelling performance.
