The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office, in cooperation with the Newberry Library, is pleased to announce that 23 public and academic libraries have been selected to host the traveling exhibition, "Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country." The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has provided major funding for the traveling exhibition.

In our state the library selected was Briar Cliff University/Sioux City Lewis Interpretive Center, Sioux City, Iowa.
