“Step into different worlds just by picking up a book,”…that was the appeal when I was a child. My favorite book is “The Little Prince” by Antoine du Saint-Exupery and it continues to change in meaning each time I read it or just think about different characters.
Hawaii State Public Library System: Summer Reading 2025 Challenge “Mele!”, now till July 31, 2025
Hawaii State Librarian Stacey A. Aldrich has worked in our state’s library system for some ten years and her love of reading goes beyond the physical books on the shelves at the fifty-one branches that dot our islands! Her interest in having you, me, and everyone renewing their Hawaii State Library card means more access to audiobooks, movies, and feeling good about escaping for a couple hours into that stack of books – or magazines, computers, as they are available – at home or at the Public Library.
“Ask a Librarian” can help you, too!
The library in 2025 is vastly different from small kid time…at least if it has been a decade or so since you last went to your neighborhood location!
Thank you, Stacey A. Aldrich and our Hawaii Public Libraries! Sign up or Renew your Public Library card here.
