Hawaii Library Professionals Learn Together at HLA/HASL ConferenceThe biennial HLA-HASL Conference that took place December 1-2 was a success thanks to the effective leadership of HLA president Carina Chernisky and HASL VP of Programming Danielle Fujii, as well as the support of all the planning committee members and conference volunteers. One highlight was the ALOHA X Design Workshop facilitated by Miki Tomito, founder and CEO of Education Incubator. Miki led workshop participants through an overview of the meaning of Aloha as articulated by Aunty Pilahi Paki and her grandson, Uncle Pono Shim and which is enshrined in the state Law of Aloha Spirit. Miki then discussed key concepts of the design process and encouraged individuals and groups to ideate strategies for creating library spaces and practices that allow, encourage, and support aloha. Participants included school, public, academic, and special librarians and this diversity of expertise allowed for rich conversations and connections.
