A Library Resurrected at Keolu ElementaryThe re-opening of a school library can be a little more exciting than a grand opening. Why? Time honored values and beliefs come alive once again, and a former community of supporters reappear to work side by side with new advocates. And so it was at Keolu Elementary library in the month of October. New librarian-teacher, Gabriele Finn, was given the task of restoring the library to serve a literacy-hungry student body of 150. Gabriele worked furiously with suggestions from Mokapu Elementary librarian, Caitlin Ramirez, to layout a new floor map and to re-purchase LS2 for circulation and management. Extra help came from HASL Buddies Jarri Kagawa, Sandi Takishita, Cheryl Fukuda, Terri Korpi & Imelda Amano, all retirees. In a whopping 15 hours and several days of additional help from EAs, the entire facility was all in place. Keolu Elementary Library is ready to welcome its patrons once more! By Finn & Amano
