Selling nearly two million copies, the book won an American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship.
According to the WPL, the presentation is "thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking, Loewen unveils the real America in this classic beloved by high school teachers, history buffs, and enlightened citizens across the country."
“We are excited to provide community space to have safe and respectful dialogues on important topics such as those presented in Loewen’s book. This was my first read through of Lies My Teacher Told Me and I look forward to discussing it with other readers to hear their thoughts and reactions.” Jennifer Marien, Public Services Librarian
