Book Events
posted by A.Alba I hope everybody had a festive Thanksgiving and a rewarding Black Friday (if you’re into that sort of thing).

posted by A.Alba I am completely exhausted. What a whirlwind week it has been for us as we push forward to finishing our Library Tour. We visited three libraries this past week and are looking to write them up as soon as we can—as soon as we finish write ups for the libraries we visited […]

One of the challenges we have in our Library Tour is traveling by car from the Honolulu Airport area (where we both work full-time) to each of the […]

As part of the UH Manoa English Department’s Fall 2009 Reading and Colloquium Series, they will present a pair of readings by these authors from Seattle-based Chin Music Press. Todd and Linda Shimoda, […]
posted by A.Alba Kailua Public Library is the next stop on Hawaii Book Blog’s Hawaii Public Library Challenge Tour. We drove up to the Windward side on a beautiful Saturday morning, hoping to catch some breakfast and run a few errands while we were there. Unfortunately our first stop, the much lauded Boots & Kimo’s restaurant, was jam-packed on the inside […]
