Join us as we kick-off the Summer Reading Challenge! The free event will be at the Hawai‘i State Library in Downtown Honolulu on Saturday, June 3 from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. This year’s theme is E Heluhelu Kākou: Seeds of Knowledge, and we are celebrating Hawai‘i–our islands, people, environment, cultural heritage, literature, history, foods and arts.

Enjoy exciting events by the Hawai‘i Youth Opera Chorus, La Sorellanza singers, a Keiki hula performance, Book bag tie dyeing session, Bokashi composting, and a storytime for children.

There will also be some fun activity stations with the following organizations:

• Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i
• Hawai‘i State Federal Credit Union
• O‘ahu Plant Extinction Prevention Program
• State Department of Agriculture’s Plant Quarantine Branch
• State Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Forestry and Wildlife Division
• State Department of Health, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division

Attendees who visit all of these activity stations and complete the Passport stamp sheet will receive a small reward, while supplies last.
