Looking for a way to keep your kids active and engaged over the summer break? Sign them up for a ridiculously fun kids hip hop dance camp! There will be dancing, games, interactive activities, singing, arts and crafts, choreography, concerts and more! The kids will enjoy sweating, laughing, making new friends, being creative, playing and chilling together! There will always be a performance for the parents at the end of the camp.
This camp is designed to be a fun, nurturing environment for the kids to enjoy some creative dance and play time. Our camps offer your kids a break from academia and a chance to learn through movement, experimentation and creativity.
See you on the dance floor!

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.

June 18 Free Brown Bag Talk on “I Know You Are, But What Am I?”
The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center will host a free talk on June 18th as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom.
This month’s speaker is Elizabeth Goueti on the topic “I Know You Are, But What Am I? Managing Conflict Maturely When Emotions Are High.”

If you are a mediator or simply desire to consistently manage conflict better across conversations, communities, or cultures, this talk is for you. Learn how to move the conversation along and resolve conflict to win at life.
