This free program encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she enters Kindergarten. One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books every day. Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation – a key to school and learning success. Plus, sharing stories together is fun!

Stop by Ewa Beach Library to enroll and pick up your reading log. Return to the branch after each hundred books read for a sticker and your next recording sheet.

Happy Reading!

Celebrate the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge!

2025 has been proclaimed the Year of Our Community Forests in Hawai‘i! To celebrate, public libraries are partnering with the State Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DLNR-DOFAW) and other environmental organizations to offer a free educational and interactive program for all ages.

This one-hour event begins with a tree mele or ‘oli, includes a brief presentation on community forests, and will end with an engaging activity that highlights the importance of forest stewardship across our islands.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. Program schedule is subject to change.
