Board of Trustees’ Land Acknowledgement Statement 

The Helen Plum Library Board of Trustees unanimously acknowledges that many indigenous groups once lived on the land where the Library now resides. The Library invites all to learn their histories, cultures, and peoples. The Library Board encourages our neighbors to explore learning opportunities through local, Indigenous-based organizations such as Midwest SOARRING Foundation.
