The Institute for Museum and Library Service recently presented 10 museums and libraries from around the United States — including the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Library in Blyn — with the 2019 National Medal for Museum and Library Service.

The medal is the nation’s highest honor given to libraries and museums that “make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities.”

Accepting the award in Washington, D.C., from the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Library were tribal librarian Bonnie Roos and community member Celeste Dybeck.
