Come on over and join the fun—play Hanafuda with your fellow community members! We’re excited to let you know that after a summer break, we’re back with this program. We have several Hanafuda decks available during the event, on a first-come, first-served basis, for anyone eager to play. It’s a great chance to meet new friends, challenge yourself, and just have a good time! If you’ve learned how to play Hanafuda from Helen Nakano and her Sensei, now’s your moment to practice those skills in a friendly game.

This will be a relaxed, self-directed play session—no formal instructions will be provided. However, we’ll have instruction sheets available for those interested in learning more about this wonderful game. Everyone, no matter your experience level, is welcome to join! Just a quick note: young children should be accompanied by an adult. For more info, feel free to contact us at (808) 733-8422 or ask at the Kaimukī Public Library Adult Reference Desk. We look forward to seeing you there!

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. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.

Prepare your ears for Red Nova, Honolulu's fiery, "open-flow" free jazz trio that hurls musical safety nets straight out the window! Fronted by the fearlessly creative lineup of Peter Shaindlin soaring on trumpet and flugelhorn, Randy Wong anchoring the low end on acoustic bass, and Jay Jaskot driving the pulse on percussion, this power trio creates pure sonic magic live on stage. Playing completely unscripted, improvised sets without key signatures or guardrails, they turn every performance—including high-profile residencies at legendary venues like Blue Note Hawaii—into an adrenaline-fueled exploration of sound. Their critically acclaimed debut live album, Presence of Mind, recorded at Hawaii Public Radio's Atherton Studio, earned well-deserved Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nominations, proving that wild, cutting-edge experimentation can capture hearts and accolades alike. Ready to dive into the avant-garde deep end? You can stream their mind-bending projects right now on the Red Nova Bandcamp page!
