Library

Aloha Kapunahala Ohana!

Welcome to the library!  Come and visit the place where you are able to  fulfill your desire to learn about the world, as well as take you to imaginary places!  Here you can experience the feel of the pages of a real book or  access an array of digital books.  Either way, you are able to stimulate your mind and experience the joy of reading.  It is a quiet place where you can study or just enjoy your reading experience.  There is fantasy, mysteries, science fiction, realistic fiction, folktales, legends, myths,  true facts and information all at your fingertips. 

Please also take a look at the "Resources" and "Helping Your Child to Read" pages that are located in the drop down menu under "Library".  The "Resources" page provides you with different websites that you can use to enhance learning.  The "Helping Your Child to Read" page gives you specific reading strategies that can help with learning to read.  

We  love seeing your smiling faces full of joy and wonder and hope to see you soon!

Library cards are free for Hawaii residents.  Don’t have a Hawaii State Public Library System library card? No problem! The Library System created a new online library card application process to allow our community to stay-at-home and still use our resources. The new library card application is now available online and provides access to library resources for 45 days. Before the 45 days expires, individuals must visit their nearest library to receive their permanent library card.

Free ebooks

Listed below are websites that are offering free ebooks at this time.  Many sites are offering free trials for ebooks.  However, many of them charge a subscription fee at the end of the trial.  Therefore, if you do not cancel the subscription before the end of the trial,  you will be charged.  This site is meant to provide you with free  supplemental sites that you can use to keep your child engaged in their learning.  Although I have searched and reviewed the sites listed on this webpage,  I recommend that there is adult supervision and guidance for students as they navigate and visit these sites.  I will periodically update this site as I find more resources.
