ARS Hawaii invites all recorder players to attend our weekly practices at Arcadia, 1434 Punahou St, Honolulu, HI. The ensemble of 6-8 performers plays a wide range of music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque to Contemporary, on instruments including Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, Great Bass and occasionally sopranino. The group performs several times per year at a variety of occasions including church services, art museums, and special events. We encourage recorder players of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, to come join us. ARS Hawaii is a chapter of the national 501(c)(3) American Recorder Society.

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.

The Greener Reader Book Club reads and discusses fiction, non-fiction, and science fiction books as well as memoirs and biographies, with the intention of exploring various perspectives and counter-narratives on (past, present and potential) social, cultural, and economic norms and systems, and on the “unspoken complexities of the human heart”. We meet (almost always) on the last Tuesday of every month to read together in silent solidarity, share what else we're reading, and discuss the book of the month. 1-3 times a month we (try to) gather in public green space to read as well. Join us - be the reader you want to see in the world!
