Enjoy the movie classic My Fair Lady all over again, but with an added twist: an audience sing-along!  Mics won’t be provided but you can sing as loud, as soft or not at all, from the comfort of your seat! How fun is that? 

This Best Picture, a musical reworking of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” is about a pompous, acid-tongued professor of linguistics (Best Actor Rex Harrison) who tries to refine an ill-mannered, uneducated guttersnipe (Audrey Hepburn) and pass her off as a princess in six months.

This movie is rated G (General Audiences) by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).  Contains mild language, some adult themes, and depictions of alcohol consumption.  Young children need to be accompanied by either a parent or legal guardian. Mahalo to the Friends of Kaimuki Public Library for sponsoring this event.

Come on over and join the fun—play Hanafuda with your fellow community members! We’re excited to let you know that after a summer break, we’re back with this program. We have several Hanafuda decks available during the event, on a first-come, first-served basis, for anyone eager to play. It’s a great chance to meet new friends, challenge yourself, and just have a good time! If you’ve learned how to play Hanafuda from Helen Nakano and her Sensei, now’s your moment to practice those skills in a friendly game.

This will be a relaxed, self-directed play session—no formal instructions will be provided. However, we’ll have instruction sheets available for those interested in learning more about this wonderful game. Everyone, no matter your experience level, is welcome to join! Just a quick note: young children should be accompanied by an adult.  For more info, feel free to contact us at (808) 733-8422 or ask at the Kaimukī Public Library Adult Reference Desk. We look forward to seeing you there!
