Edward Lyman, the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary’s Natural Resources Management Specialist will describe the difficult, and sometimes dan-gerous, task of disentangling 40-ton, often free-swimming, whales from life-threatening tangles using techniques modified from those used to catch large fish, or used historically by whalers to kill the animals. Case histories of some of the animals that have been freed in Hawaii by an authorized network of responders will be shown using some amazing video footage. The effort is coordinated by the sanctuary, working under NOAA Fisheries’ Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Pro-gram, and includes sanctuary partners and the on-water community.

The Mixed Review is a forum, led by Librarian Carolyn Larson, to talk about the meaning and impact of books we have read, to discuss the art and craft of writing, and to share the love of books and reading.  The Mixed Review focuses, not on a single book, but on books with unifying styles, themes or topics.  Join us for a discussion on the last Wednesday of each month at 5:00pm in the Lihue Library Conference Room. A book list is available at the library.

November’s topic is Non-Fiction/Science

There will be no meeting in December
