May 9, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

coral spawning picture

Learn about cauliflower coral spawning in Kahaluʻu Bay, Kahaluʻu’s annual rest periods honoring this significant event, and simple ways you and your ʻohana can support the next generation of coral in Kahaluʻu Bay and beyond.

Sculpt your very own cauliflower coral with air-dry clay, and observe it spawn by putting it on display in a waterless snow globe!

This program is suitable for grades K-6. Spaces are limited: contact the library to make a reservation. Young children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.

The Kohala Center’s ReefTeach program is a community-driven stewardship effort aimed at increasing the resiliency of the coastal ecosystem at Kahaluʻu through education, outreach, research, and advocacy.

Mahalo nui to the Friends of the Libraries, Kona (F.O.L.K.) for sponsoring this program!

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 on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
