Aloha! Welcome to our page dedicated to those 55 years and above.  We received a grant in late 2003 from the Friends of Kaneohe Library and the Friends of the Library of Hawaii to establish a Seniors Outreach Project.  The Project plans to offer the following to our elders:

• Introduction to the Hawaii State Public Library System's (HSPLS) Public Access Catalog (PAC), electronic full text databases, and the World Wide Web (1:1) -- on site or in the library
• Assistance in making online requests for materials using the PAC, with delivery of the materials to those who cannot come to the library
  
• Assistance in establishing free E-mail Accounts
• Regular visits by library staff to Retirement Homes and Adult Care Homes in the greater  Kaneohe area (as far north as Punaluu)
  
• More Large Print Books
• Programs (The first program, featuring local nonagenarian author and  health enthusiast, Carolyn Choy, was held on August 1, 2004 at 1:00 PM. There were 42 interested people in attendance.)  Ms. Choy has appeared two more times since then before appreciative audiences
  
• Encouragement of field trips/excursions to the libraries

The only requirement is a valid HSPLS Library Card.  While we are focusing on a specific geographic region, all are welcome to take the classes -- by appointment only, please.  Visit beautiful Windward Oahu.

Mahalo for your use and support of public libraries.
