Help local families have gifts for their children this holiday season. Sherwood Public Library is a drop-off site for Sherwood School District’s SHARE Center gift drive. Drop off new, unwrapped gifts November 7-25. Families can make appointments for holiday shopping at the SHARE Center. Any remaining gifts will go to Sherwood Elks for Christmas baskets. Looking to save money? The Friends of the Sherwood Library have an ongoing sale of used household items, clothing, and books with prices typically in the $0.25 to $2 range. Holiday items go quickly. The ultimate money-savings is by borrowing books, movies, magazines, games, tools, and gadgets from the library. Use the Adventure Pass to visit local destinations, read e-books, stream movies, download digital magazines and newspapers, and more—a value in the hundreds of dollars each month, all for free. Sign-up for a library card to get started. We also invite you to support the library with year-end giving. Donations are tax-deductible. - Support Friends of the Sherwood Public Library (sherwoodfol.org), a Non-Profit 501c3 corporation, with donations of funds or used books and media
- Donate to Sherwood Library Foundation (SHELF) (sherwoodlibraryfoundation.com), a private, Non-Profit 501c3 corporation, the group behind the library’s meeting pod.

To Walk the Sky
by Patricia Morris Buckley
High above the ground, generation after generation, Native workers called skywalkers have sculpted city skylines, balancing on narrow beams, facing down terrifying heights and heartbreaking loss. These skywalkers who dared to touch the heavens have built a legacy of landmarks all over the North American continent--and even today, there are Native Americans still climbing up among the clouds, brave enough to walk the sky. The author is a member of the Mohawk Tribe.

Native Home
by Chelsey Luger
Native American teachings for homekeeping are full of wellness knowledge that can transform our lives today, through heritage-honoring design, sustainable minimalism, and intentional entertaining that best reflect our values. In the modern world, people often disregard the true power of the home, ignoring its role in our self-care and healthcare, but Native teachings are uniquely positioned to reveal the home as a living, breathing structure that impacts our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional sense of wellbeing. The author is a citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.
