When Bill does research at the Kailua-Kona library, he’s where he belongs.

Having been part-time residents of Kailua-Kona for 10 years, the library is a regular stop for my wife and I. We borrow books and do a lot of reading in the sun by the water. I am a “wantobe” writer so I use the library for research. I have had several articles published and broadcast on the mainland about Hawaii and our time on the Big Island.
