Giving Thanks

Posted on: November 18, 2024 | Category: Uncategorized

Mahalo! For support your public libraries bannerThanksgiving allows us to pause and reflect on our blessings: family, friends, good health, fulfilling work, and activities that bring us joy.

This year, our library staff are thankful for:

  • Our patrons who give our work meaning. We’re especially grateful that more than 13,500 of you responded to our survey so we can better meet your needs.
  • The Friends of the Library of Hawaiʻi and the many volunteers who support our efforts in communities across the state.
  • Community partners, including elected officials, who help us inspire curiosity and create opportunities for all to read, learn and connect.

Mahalo!

You have questions. We have answers.
We're librarians. (It's what we do.)
