News coverage of our last post generated a lot of news coverage as well as increased willingness by everyone involved and affected to go the extra mile to get things back on track. According to Parks staff, the lights and electricity are fixed!
We thank everyone who worked together, found that parts were available, and have allowed Makiki Community Library to reopen well before our January 4 date.
The power of the media and a cooperative spirit!
Come visit us at 1527 Keeaumoku St. during our normal hours:
- Wednesdays — 2 pm to 6 pm
- Saturdays — noon to 4 pm
- Sundays — noon to 4 pm
Our poor park and library!
Yesterday, Makiki Community Library’s board was notified that someone cut the main power line to the Makiki District Park complex, where we are located, on Friday evening. According to park staff, HECO says it will be one month before they can get the power back on because they need to order parts. The entire Makiki District Park complex is down, including the parking lots.
With that in mind, the Makiki Community Library will be closed effective today through the end of December. The book sale scheduled for this weekend is also cancelled. We plan to re-open and resume normal operations and hours on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 2 pm.
Come visit us at 1527 Keeaumoku St. during our normal hours after we reopen:
- Wednesdays — 2 pm to 6 pm
- Saturdays — noon to 4 pm
- Sundays — noon to 4 pm
We thank you for your understanding as well as your continued support and patronage of Makiki Community Library.
Happy Holidays and we hope to see you again in 2012!

Important Reminder:

After spending several months preparing and putting on our second annual A Taste for Books fundraiser, our staff and volunteers are taking a much-needed break. Photos from the event are available on our Facebook page. We thank all of our donors and patrons for their support in dollars, sweat, and friendship.
Makiki Community Library is housed on the first floor and the mezzanine level of the Makiki Library building in Makiki District Park (1527 Keeaumoku Street, just mauka of Lunalilo Freeway) and we will reopen on Wednesday, October 12, from 2-6 pm.

Mahalo!
As we start the final week of September, we want to remind you that Makiki Community Library can use your financial support. There are two easy ways you can help this week.
First, on Tuesday, we will hold our Second Annual A Taste For Books fundraiser at St. Clement’s Church. Tickets are $25 and are still available for purchase at the door.
Also, through the end of the month, Makiki Community Library is participating in Foodland and Sack n Save’s Give Aloha program. For every donation made using our special code #78581, we will receive a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $249.
In these tight economic times, we are even more grateful to all of our donors and supporters for helping us keep our doors open and be a safe place for learning and literacy in Makiki.
Mahalo!
