Employee Book List

To encourage employee wellness, growth, development, and training SLHC wants to build an Employee Library as a resource for staff. These books will be available for staff to borrow and read as they wish, with some being used for onboarding, ongoing training, mentorship, and cultural activities. Help support our goal by donating a book today. We prefer local used books whenever possible. Please reach out to Meghan Gallagher, 707-499-2457, to arrange delivery/drop-off. Thank you for your support.

Books will be removed as they are received. 

*Thank you to the Lakota People's Law Project as many of our books come from their Decolonized Reading List.*
