Sitting Bull College Library serves as both a tribal college and community library for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Standing Rock Reservation region which is slightly smaller than Connecticut. The recent Dakota Access Pipeline protests presented opportunities and challenges in serving the unique community of thousands that came to Standing Rock. The library sought to serve visitors, engage with camp organizations, and preserve a record of an important moment in history. Library Director Mark Holman will share experiences from the unique vantage point of the library and engage the audience in a dialogue about the role of the library and librarian during times of upheaval or significant change.
