Message from FOLK:

Please go into your public library this week.  It is COUNT WEEK and your physical presence may keep our library open.

Drop by to the Kealakekua branch, meet Kipapa, a children’s and young adult’s librarian from Waimea who is helping to bring things up to standard.

And meet Moea who until recently worked at the Kailua branch.

At the same time, the librarian has put out comment sheets and is actively soliciting feedback.

Here is a chance for the community to speak out about what we want to see happening in our library.

Every person who goes in will be counted and those numbers will help show that these branches should be kept open.
