Happy Holidays 2021 – Library Staff Favorites!

Leeward Community College library has an abundant source of online reading materials on Overdrive! Searching for holiday traditions and recipes, I found wonderful and current recipes, holiday crafts and decorating ideas in magazines! Also, several staff members contributed personal holiday favorites such as “Lilikoi Coconut Cookies“, a delicious Vietnamese dish called “Bo Nhung Dam – Vietnamese Fondue“ and how to “Make your home smell like the holidays!”

I hope you enjoy the staff contributions above. If you are interested in finding more holiday recipes and ideas, here are a few of the magazines available in the library’s Overdrive Magazine Collection.

Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!

Finals Countdown begins Monday, December 6th!

During the last week of September, we feature books that are currently or have been historically challenged in libraries, schools, and countries. Leeward CC Library has almost 100 titles that have been banned or challenged! We also had our own experience with censorship. If you are curious which books made the banned list, drop by the Learning Commons & Library! You can also visit our display virtually at go.hawaii.edu/Pnr.
