Japanese children frequently receive monetary gifts in little envelopes called “pochibukuro.”  The New Year’s pochibukuro is called “otoshidama.”  This pragmatic practice has other applications as well.  Learn to make 3 different, simple pochibukuro from found materials, then size them up for other purposes.  Examples of varied uses for these envelopes and other ways of creating them will be shared.

Location: Meeting Room (Ground Floor)

All supplies will be provided for 6 envelopes.  Students may bring their own small, sharp pointed, thin blade scissors.

Please join us for our next book club meeting on Friday, August 10, when we will be discussing The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti.

“After years spent living on the run, Samuel Hawley moves with his teenage daughter Loo to Olympus, Massachusetts.  There, in his late wife’s hometown, Hawley finds work as a fisherman, while Loo struggles to fit in at school and grows curious about her mother’s mysterious death.  Haunting them both are twelve scars Hawley carries on his body, from twelve bullets in his criminal past–a past that eventually spills over into his daughter’s present, until together they must face a reckoning yet to come.  Both a coming of age story and a literary thriller, this novel explores what it means to be a hero, and the price we pay to protect the people we love most.” (from the Publisher)

This title is currently available in both print (regular and Large Type) and ebook formats through the Hawaii State Public Library System.

Our bi-monthly book club meets in the Kaimuki Library Meeting Room on the ground level of the library.

Program schedule is subject to change.  Contact the library at least 10 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
