The 21 Challenge

You’ve heard about Squatterz Books & Curiosities on the radio, read about them in the paper - why do we keep mentioning this store? That’s because owner Daron Letts in conjunction with various organizations in Yellowknife has graciously organized a massive book donation for Samuel Hearne consisting of new materials that were specifically chosen from our Amazon wishlist, new materials purchased by Northern Territories Federation of Labour  and lightly used, current books chosen to help us rebuild a research collection to supplement school curriculum.

Now all we need is a sponsor to cover shipping! I’ll update this space as soon as we can secure one. [edit: We've found a sponsor! The Inuit owned First Air will has agreed to cover the substantial costs for this massive book drive. Thank you, First Air for keeping this Book Drive from falling through!]

We’d also like to acknowledge the generous book donations we’ve received from the following organizations and individuals:

Gwich’in Social & Cultural Institute in Fort McPherson
Gwich’in Tribal Council
Inuvialuit Resource Center
Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Center
Inuvik Centennial Library
Japan Foundation Toronto Library
NWT Literacy Council
Pyramid Productions
