BOOK BY HSPLS LIBRARIAN
Christin Lozano, Adult Reference Librarian at Kaimuki Public Library, has written and published in cooperation with illustrator Mariko Merritt, a Hawaii-themed children's picture book entitled Island Toes, which tells through pictures and words the variety of toes one can see (snorkeling toes, wheelchair toes, "straps-in-between" toes) and places they go. The publisher is Bess Press. The book is now widely available and will be coming soon to the public library. Also sold through the Friends of Kaimuki Public Library book store (see below). Congratulations, Christin!

WORLDWIDE VOYAGE EVENT AND ‘OHANA MOVIE NIGHT
On Monday, November 30, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., Kaimuki Public Library will host a two-part program in the Young Adult Room put on by the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) to share knowledge of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage by the voyaging canoes Hōkūle'a and Hikianalia. The two parts to the program will be: 1) 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.: interactive educational activity stations including the star compass, knot tying, Mālama Honua voyage map, and peace flags. Crew members will oversee the activity stations. 2) 5:30-7:00 p.m.: showing of the documentary Papa Mau: the Wayfinder, which explores the influence of Mau Piailug, who revived non-instrument navigation in Hawaii and brought back Polynesia's voyaging tradition from the verge of extinction.
There is also a display of related photos and informational materials in the Adult Reading area's glass case, posters and items on top of the Young Adult Room book shelves, and books on top of the encyclopedia shelves in the Adult Reading area. The displays can be viewed through Friday, December 4.
