Did you know August is National Golf Month? To celebrate, we’re having a Mini Golf & Book Sale on Friday, 1 August. You can reserve a tee time to play on our golf course constructed out of books by contacting the Laupahoehoe Library. Walk-in players are also welcome if there’s space. Last tee time at 3 pm so all players can finish the course before we close. Come browse our sale and support your Hāmākua Libraries!
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. Program schedule is subject to change.
