The Friends of Makiki Community Library (formerly the Friends of Makiki Library) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group that manages the Makiki Library, the Frank F. Fasi Citizen Resource Center, and other programs that comprise the Makiki Community Library (MCL). The Friends is overseen by a board of directors that sets overall policies, goals, and management practices for the Learning Center.
Besides operating the Makiki Library, the Friends is working to develop various recreational, educational, and cultural programs to benefit Makiki-area residents of all ages. The Friends envisions activities or programs such as storytelling or book-reading sessions for young children, book discussion groups for teens or adults, poetry slams for teens and young adults, music performances, computer literacy classes, informal language classes, workshops on understanding government and how citizens can engage meaningfully in the political process, programs associated with special days like Earth Day or Martin Luther King Day, sessions of various types for senior citizens, etc. These activities may be either one-time events or a series of classes or workshops.
