Diné College

 


My office in the main library at Diné College lies at the center of the universe!

The circular campus represents a traditional hogan, which is also a model of the Diné cosmos. The library, itself a hogan, is at the center: the place of the fire.

The founders of Diné College understood, when they placed the library at the center, that libraries are much more than just glorified root cellars.

They understood that learning needs community, that all human knowledge is like an ongoing conversation, and that books and media are only part of that never-ending conversation shared across time and space.

The founders of Diné College knew that it's important to keep the conversation—like the fire—going.
