Kaneohe Library will mark its 50th anniversary Sunday, offering a marathon day of entertainment and the arts.<\/p>\n
Considered the Windward side’s regional library – a backup reference and resource facility for the Kahuku, Kailua and Waimanalo branches – it opened on Jan. 4, 1963, and has grown from stocking traditional books (remember those?) to scheduling Internet lessons and tips on downloading e-books onto new e-reading devices. Along the way it also expanded its parking lot and replaced the roof.<\/p>\n
According to current branch manager Cindy Chow, Kaneohe Library also boasts “a very large and newly organized DVD and CD collection,” a talented children’s librarian whose preschool stories really rock, monthly movie nights and a busy Friends of the Library book store downstairs.<\/p>\n
The anniversary party, meanwhile, will run from 10:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 27 with the following offerings for all of its patrons. For more information, call 233-5676.<\/p>\n
