The theme for National Library Week 2024, “Ready, Set, Library!,” promotes the idea that in our always-online world, libraries give us a green light to something truly special: a place to connect with others, learn new skills, and focus on what matters most.

April 23-29: Right to Read Display
Celebrate National Library Week with Leeward CC Library!
This year, National Library Week kicks off with Right to Read Day on Monday, April 24th. Libraries across the country saw record numbers of book challenges in 2022; most of these attempts to ban books occurred at school or public libraries. Librarians believe in an individual’s right to choose what they read, and we invite you to learn why the freedom to read is important from our American Library Association (ALA) President, Lessa Kanani‘opua Pelayo-Lozada.
Fun trivia: Lessa Kanani‘opua Pelayo-Lozada is the first ALA president of Hawaiian ancestry, and Leeward Library hosted her in November 2022 for the Hawai‘i Library Conference.
We also encourage you to see There’s More to the Story at Leeward Library. In addition to books, you can borrow laptops, iPads, and charging devices. You can also talk with a librarian to get help with research, finding resources, or citing sources.
April 24 – May 12: Annual Library User Survey
Let us know what we’re doing well and what we could improve upon. Please fill out our survey at go.hawaii.edu/XFm. Survey begins Monday, April 24th, and will end Friday, May 12th.
April 26: Student Focus Group
Kapunawai Room, Learning Commons & Library
12PM
We’re interested in hearing our students’ thoughts & opinions about the library. Pizza, snacks, and beverages will provided by Leeward CC’s Student Government. If you know of any student who would be interested in joining our discussion, please have them contact An Hollowell at ahollowe@hawaii.edu.

Celebrate National Library Week with Leeward Library! Like many other libraries across the world, Leeward Library has adjusted our operations in response to COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped connecting you to the resources you need to learn, enjoy, and ultimately succeed!
Asian Voices…
Recently, there has been a widespread acknowledgment of violent acts occurring against Asian communities across the United States. Leeward Library would like to take this opportunity to affirm our commitment to uplifting local and Asian community voices as a reminder that libraries continue to allow us to feel represented and accepted.
In conjunction with National Library Week and Asian Heritage Month in May, we take this moment to showcase stories by and of Asian voices in the hope that it encourages you to engage and create your own stories, and share them in solidarity, awareness, and compassion with one another. Welcome To Your Library, where we hope you will feel seen and safe in your learning.
Please visit our National Library Week Activities page for a selection of Asian Voices reads, informative articles and videos, and other National Library Week activities!

It’s National Library Week!!!
Like many other libraries across the world, Leeward Library has adjusted our operations in response to COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped connecting you to the resources you need to learn, enjoy, and ultimately succeed! For this year’s National Library Week, we celebrate by bringing you virtual experiences and digital resources that explore a wealth of knowledge across the globe. And the greatest part? You can enjoy it all from wherever you are. As the world transforms around us, remember that you will no doubt find your place at the library, even when you find the library at your place!
If you read our teaser post last week and saw nothing on our National Library Week page [New Window] . . . the page is now a-live! We’ve packed in quite a few activities, virtual and physical, you can do at home.
Learn about OverDrive and using the Libby App in the Using OverDrive tab [New Window].
OverDrive [New Window] is a digital (e-Book and audiobook) collection of general and popular nonfiction and fiction titles along with titles supporting select Leeward classes. We welcome any recommendations!
And finally, we have our Annual Library User Survey ! Please fill this out when you get the chance. Your feedback is important for improving our services.
