April’s Book Club pick is To The Moon And Back by Eliana Ramage. This stirring coming-of-age novel is the tale of a young woman determined to become the first Cherokee astronaut. Steph Harper knows there are a lot of obstacles in her way, but she won’t let anyone stop her. From growing up on the reservation in Oklahoma, to the halls of academia and the NASA astronaut training program, To The Moon And Back spans three decades and multiple continents. A breathtaking debut about family ties, identity, and generational love. Copies are available at the circulation desk of Honokaa Library. All books are chosen by members of the group.

Are you curious about zines? Zines (short for magazines) are DIY publications that anyone can create. They’re a fun way to share your creative ideas with the world, and are easy to reproduce for distribution using our library copier (copying costs will be covered during the event). Work on your ideas, bring a favorite zine to share, and browse our zine collection for inspiration. All supplies (collage materials, paper, pens/pencils) will be provided, but feel free to bring in your own if you like. This event is geared towards teens and adults.
