Library Project programs in September

The Native Hawaiian Library Project (NHLP) will present some exciting programs during September. The Holomua Resource Van will continue a series of quilt pattern tracing workshops, held in cooperation with Bishop Museum, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at Kaimuki Public Library. Copies of 55 quilt patterns that have been donated to Bishop Museum by the family of expert quilter, Hannah Baker, will be available for tracing. Interested quilters should bring their own tracing paper for the 72" X 42" patterns. NHLP will provide the #1 pencils. Books on quilting will be available for borrowing with a Hawaii State Public Library card. The Holomua Resource Van will also be participating in the Bishop Museum Family Sunday on Sept. 1, a community event sponsored by the Bishop Museum. The theme for this Family Sunday will be a "summer blowout" to conclude the Bishop Museum Science Fair. The resource van will feature activities like bookmark making, petroglyph rubbing, and storytelling for children. Books such as "The Wai'anae Book of Hawaiian Health," "The

Wai'anae Diet Program Manual," "The Native Hawaiian Rights Handbook," and a new children's book about Princess Ka'iulani entitled "The Last Princess" will also be available for borrowing with a Hawaii State Public Library card. The Ohina Mo'olelo Maika'i lecture series will present a program at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9 with the Rev. David Ka'alakea talking about Hawaiian herbal medicine at the Wailuku Public Library. The Judiciary History Center Traveling Library Exhibit will move from Kahuku Public and School Library to the Waikiki Public Library from Sept. 3 until Nov. 1. This new exciting exhibit allows patrons to explore Hawaiian law from preWestern contact to present times. There is also an activity booklet for children young and old entitled "You Be The Judge" with stickers for those who fill out an activity booklet. The Books-By-Mail Program also schedules monthly visits for kupuna at the Alu Like Ke Ola Pono No Na Kupuna program in Waimanalo. This program involves taking books and videos to share with the kupuna and setting up special programs.
