Every year, we have so much fun sharing the wonder and magic of Monarch butterflies with our community. From watching butterflies feed to learning about their incredible life cycle, it is an experience that creates lasting memories for visitors of all ages.

This year is especially meaningful because we are celebrating our 10th anniversary! Ten years of educating, inspiring, and connecting people with the beauty of butterflies. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us along this amazing journey.

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.

By the ages of 7-12, hula students have developed a longer attention span. They have greater facility in using a medley of hula implements, and are capable of more advanced choreography.

Participation in this hula halau (school) is one of the best introductions to Hawaiian language and culture. Children will learn both hula kahiko (ancient hula) and hula auana (modern hula), with the basic steps as well as oli (Hawaiian chants). Children will learn a true appreciation for nature, as well as how to make flower lei. Some classes may learn to use implements, such as the ipu (gourd drum).

Aloha Theatre is holding Auditions for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Auditions will be held Sunday, July 12th and Tuesday, July 14th and are by online appointment only. Times will be segmented. Reserve a time by signing up at www.alohatheatre.com. If needed, callbacks will be on Wednesday, July 15th, starting at 6:00pm.  

We are seeking local talent who are excited to cooperate and collaborate with the directors of the production, and who boast a passion to learn/perform, a positive attitude, unique and fun personalities, with speaking and projecting abilities. This performance will be directed by Brett McCardle and features roles for teens to adults.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a compelling stage adaptation of the bestselling novel by Mark Haddon. The play follows Christopher, a brilliant 15-year-old with a unique way of seeing the world, as he investigates the mysterious death of a neighbor's dog. His search for the truth leads to unexpected discoveries about his family, making this a powerful story about courage, trust, and finding one's place in the world.
