All Spokane Public Library buildings sit on the traditional homelands of the four bands of the Spokane Tribe of Indians: Sntútʔulixʷi, Snxʷmeneʔi, Sc̓qesciłni, and Sčewíleʔ (Upper Band, Middle Band, Lower Band, Chewelah Band). Since time immemorial, the Spokane Tribe of Indians has lived and cared for these grounds. Identifying themselves as “sqélixʷ,” or “Flesh of the Earth.” We pay our respects to their Elders – past, present, and emerging. We show gratitude to the land, river, and peoples who have been fishing, hunting, harvesting, and gathering here for generations. May we learn from one another’s stories, so that we may nurture the relationship of the People of the Spokane Tribe and to all those who share this land.

Andrew Carnegie’s legacy shaped the foundation of our nation’s libraries including Spokane Public Library. This year Carnegie Libraries across America (including Spokane Public Library) each received a $10,000 gift from Carnegie Corporation of New York . The award is part of Carnegie Libraries 250, a special initiative celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This grant will be used to further develop our local archives in the Inland Northwest Special Collections. Swipe through to learn more and to see Spokane Public Library’s Carnegie buildings then and now.
