RESEARCH GUIDES - ONLINE TUTORIALS
Goddard Library Homepage: https://rctc.libguides.com/library/ Goddard Library Research Guides provide access to library resources, instructional tutorials, and more!
ONE BOOK - ONE MINNESOTA
Though generations have passed, the town of Pluto continues to be haunted by the murder of a farm family. Evelina Harp—part Ojibwe, part white—is an ambitious young girl whose grandfather, a repository of family and tribal history, harbors knowledge of the violent past. And Judge Antone Bazil Coutts, who bears witness, understands the weight of historical injustice better than anyone. Through the distinct and winning voices of three unforgettable narrators, the collective stories of two interwoven communities ultimately come together to reveal a final wrenching truth. (Description from Amazon)
Access to the free eAudiobook and eBook is now available through eBooks Minnesota database via RCTC's Goddard Library. Here is a link to e-books Minnesota (just use your Star ID and password for access to databases at RCTC's Goddard Library) https://rctc.libguides.com/az.php?a=e
