St. Joe’s Bookmobile, Alumni Staff Coming Your Way
During the summer months, St. Joseph’s bookmobile travels to communities throughout South Dakota to distribute free reading material for all ages and interests. For the fourth year, the venue will have Native American books by Native American authors onboard, one for each person – young or old – who comes to the bookmobile.
Besides sharing books this summer, Alumni Relations staff members Andy Lepkowski, Krista Lepkowski and Mike Pooley want to connect with anyone who attended St. Joseph’s Indian School!
