We’re right in the middle of National Library Week!
Although National Library Week is officially April 12-18th, there are special events going on at various Hawaii State Public Library locations from now through the end of the month!

In celebration of how libraries connect us to the world, there will be many appearances by famous local story tellers spinning tales from around the world. One of the most dynamic and highly entertaining I’ve ever seen is Jeff Gere, but sadly he will be performing on Kauai and the Big Island for the rest of this week. So those of us on Oahu have missed him already. 🙁
Fortunately for us, another great and equally compelling onstage storyteller is Janice Terukina. She will be performing in various locations on Oahu through April 29th. Her most recent appearance will be this weekend Saturday, April 18, 10:30 a.m. at Kailua Public Library (Oahu). Terukina will focus on Hawaiian-style folktales, humorous local poetry and fun audience participation games. Also on Oahu this weekend, Dave Del Rocco will share a variety of stories from different countries like Italy and Korea, as well as some American and Native American tales. He will appear Sunday, April 19th, 1:00 p.m. at the Kaimuki Library.
