Updates from Hōkūpaʻa

Summer is almost here, and it’s a great time to reset and refresh.

This month, we’re excited to finally unveil our brand new website! We also encourage you to pick out some refreshing summer reading as part of the library’s Oceans of Possibilities programming.

If you’re new or looking for a refresher on Hōkūpa‘a, check out our (new) About Page. Previous newsletters are in the Archive Page.

Bright Spots: Stories of Impact

While this month’s story is not about direct impact, we are pleased to finally share what we’ve been working on behind the scenes: a brand new website!

We invite you to re-familiarize yourself with who we are and what we work on together with others to impact West Hawaiʻi. We’ve made it easier than ever to find ways to connect with our key efforts.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

Featured Event:
Oceans of Possibilities summer reading challenge

You probably know that students benefit greatly from summer reading, but don’t forget that reading is great for all ages! The Hawaii State Public Library system agrees, and will reward kids, teens, and adults for reading more in their annual summer challenge.

The summer reading program runs from June 5th - July 30th, 2022, and includes bonus activity packets around this year’s ocean theme. Click the button below to check out all the summer programming from Hawaiʻi Public Libraries. You can also connect with your local library to find in-person events.
