Calling all readers in Grades 3-6! Don’t judge a book by its cover! Visit the Children’s Section at the Hawaiʻi State Library in downtown Honolulu and choose a hand-wrapped book to borrow with your library card and read at home. Return the book and fill out the Rating Bookmark for a chance to win a gift card! (Must pick up prize in person; prize will not be mailed). First come, first pick until all wrapped books run out!
