Teens now have a space of their own – right here at the library!

Our new Teen Space at the library is a welcoming corner to read, relax, explore new books or catch up on homework.  In celebration of this new space, we will be having our first teen drop-in craft activity. Make your own keychain, bracelet or necklace – it’s your design, your style.  Beads, pearls, findings and charms will be provided.  No sign-up needed – just drop-in and get creative.

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. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events at HSPLS Events Calendar.

Feel the rhythm of poetry and express your voice in verse! This engaging session will explore a variety of poetry forms – from the elegant simplicity of haiku to the free-flowing lines of blank verse.  Participants will learn about poetic structure, celebrated authors, and how to begin writing their own verses. This interactive workshop offers something for everyone.  All materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring and share a favorite poem.  All ages and skill levels welcome.

Mahalo to Cheryl Ann Farrell of the Kauaʻi Live Poets Society for this opportunity.
