Aloha to World Book Night USA and Kalihi-Palama Public Library

Aloha!  World Book Night is April 23.  From its website (at this link):

World Book Night is about giving books and encouraging reading in those who don’t regularly do so. But it is also about more than that: It’s about people, communities and connections, about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways—through the sharing of stories.

I applied to be a "giver" of middle age books.   I was assigned to pick up my books from the Kalihi-Palama Public Library.  

Auntie Brenda, the children's librarian, created a wonderland for children to explore.

On the day I picked up my books, the toddlers were making sand paintings.
