The Mililani Public Library Book Club meets on the first Monday of each month from 5:30pm-6:30pm in our Program Room. This month we’ll be reading and discussing the highly acclaimed historical fiction novel Isola by Allegra Goodman.

The New York Times Book Review called the novel, “a work of tremendous imagination that draws on harrowing historical records to spin a story of self-determination, courage and faith.” It was a finalist for the 2025 Kirkus Prize and Goodreads Choice Award.

Come and join the free and wide-ranging discussion!

Join us for a fascinating talk by Dr. Kelli Nakamura on Saturday, March 7th from 2pm-3pm. Dr. Nakamura is a History Professor at Kapiolani Community College and author of the recently re-published Legacies of Incarceration: The World War II Experiences of Hawaii’s Japanese.

Although a lot of research and personal accounts from mainland internment camps such as Manzanar have been published, less is known about the stories of Hawaii’s own internment camps and the internees they held. Coinciding with the upcoming anniversary of the most infamous of these local camps, Honouliuli, being named a national historic site, Dr. Nakamura’s talk will highlight research from her book, a work that finally sheds a light on Hawaii’s own role in this tragic chapter of our nation’s history.

Sponsored by the Friends of Mililani Public Library.
