Salina Bookshelf, Inc. is a publishing company based in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Founded in 1994 by teenagers Eric and Kenneth Lockard, non-native but fluent in the Navajo language due to growing up among the Navajo, [1] the company specializes in Navajo-language books, mostly for children and teenagers. The company is the only Navajo-language publisher in the United States. [2]

Among its publications are a bilingual edition of the children's book Who wants to be a prairie dog? in English and Navajo, [3] and Diné Bizaad Bínáhooʼaah, a Navajo language textbook that was officially adopted by the state of New Mexico in 2008. [4] [5]

Salina Bookshelf currently has six full-time employees and three translators. [2]
