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!

Want to get better at reading?  Are you an animal lover?  Why not practice your reading skills by reading aloud to Nugget, a therapy dog from Pet Partners, a national organization that has helped to evaluate and support therapy animal teams since 1977.  This is a great opportunity for beginning readers to practice their reading skills with a totally non-judgmental listener.

Did you know reading to dogs can boost your reading skills in children as well as help with emotional and social skills!?

This program is open to people of all ages.  Children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult or caregiver.  As spaces are limited, registration is required as it will be based on a first come first served basis on the day of the program. Call (808)733-8422 or stop by the library to sign up for the program.  On the day of the program a sign up sheet for 5-10 minutes will be made available prior to the start of the program at the Adult Reference Desk.
