Happy Aloha Friday everyone! We here at Hawaii Book Blog hope you have a wonderful weekend. Here on Book End, we provide you with a list of the weekend’s literary/library events for you to decide.
Don’t forget to check out our new Calendar which expands upon our Book End by listing literary events on the weekdays and weeks in advance as they come to my attention. I’ve been meaning to do one since before last summer, but wanted to find a calendar application that satisfied all of my preferences. Finally, in lieu of pushing forward with the new template, I decided to run with Google’s due to the simplicity.
Having the calendar will be a huge help for me to keep track of all the events that pop up on a day to day basis. That way I can properly promote them through tweets, posts and messages.
Now, on to the weekend!
