This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme, ʻUmeke Kāʻeo, means a calabash full to the brim.

To celebrate this theme, every Wednesday in June and July we’ll help you fill your calabash with new tastes and flavors!

Each week we’ll have five types of each of these foods to try:

June 3: Pickles

June 10: Jelly Beans

June 17: Jerky

June 24: Oreos

July 1: Fruit

July 8: Cheese

July 15: Soda

July 22: Jam/Jelly

July 29: Chocolate

Tasting is FREE and will be available all day, while supplies last. Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Ka’ū 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.
