Great Scott! Has it been 40 years already? Come and celebrate this milestone of the classic ’80s movie Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson with Part II of the Back to the Future series.

Marty visits 2015 to straighten out the future of the McFly family, but Biff Tannen steals the time machine and with it a book that allows his young self to amass a gambling fortune, which has significant consequences to the present. To correct the problems, Marty and Doc must return to 1955 to retrieve the book.

This movie is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association for mild violence, moderate profanity, and some adult themes .  Parental guidance is suggested.  Young children need to be accompanied by either a parent or legal guardian.  Mahalo to the Friends of Kaimuki Public Library for sponsoring this event.

Need a space away from home to study and get homework done (or any other quiet work), decompress, eat snacks, and/or hang out with friends? Come on by to the Kaimukī Public Library meeting room! Beginning September 7, 2025, the Library will be hosting a Teen Readers Lounge on the first Sunday of every month from 1pm — 4pm. Music will be playing to create an inviting and relaxing environment. Students are welcome to bring their own food, listen to their own music, and bring CDs of their choice to play for the room as well. With school back in session, the first Sunday of every month can set the tone for the rest of it—make new friends, discover a new interest or reconnect with an older one, set aside time to indulge in reading or your latest crafting hobby; the possibilities are endless and the choice is yours!

This recurring program series is for student ages 12 to 18. Registration is not required, and students can drop by anytime during the time of the event. For more information, please stop by the Reference Desk or give us a call at (808) 733–8422.

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!
