We are preparing for the upcoming 3rd-floor renovation later this year. This summer, the library is packing its books. The library staff recently finished packing the Reference collection. Our next objective is to pack the more extensive General collection starting June 17. We need your help to achieve our goal of packing our collections by the end of July.
We are seeking additional hands to help us pack. Specifically, your help is needed with pulling books from shelves, placing books into boxes, labeling and taping boxes, and recording box details. Our tested packing process eliminates the necessity of carrying heavy boxes. Helpers should be able to reach overhead, lift books of varying sizes from shelf to book truck, push loaded book trucks, and fill boxes.
See our sign-up sheet for dates, times, and details. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Docuseek continues to add interesting new documentaries to its streaming platform. Here are just a few of the more than 2,800 titles available.
A fascinating look at the Haenyeo, female divers in Jeju Province, South Korea. These fearless women, some well into their 80s, work tirelessly year-round, diving deep into frigid and often dangerous waters to retrieve abalone, conch, and other treasures of the sea. Shunning underwater breathing devices and modern tools, their breath-holding capacity is their greatest asset.
La Paloma is one of the most frequently played songs in the world. This film traces its journey through history from its birth in the 1860s to the diverse settings across the globe where the haunting melody lives on. From a political rally in Mexico to a burial in Romania; from Nazi Germany to a wedding in Zanzibar; La Paloma has even left its mark on Hawaiian slack key guitar.
After serving in Afghanistan, an Islamophobic former U.S. Marine hatches a plan to bomb the Islamic Center of Muncie, hoping to kill at least 200 people. But what happens when he goes to assess his target and is welcomed warmly by his enemies? Interviews with the ex-Marine, his family, and members of the close-knit Muslim community reveal the surprising outcome of this story.
Equal parts repellent and fascinating, this short film is like a visual poem, narrated and set to music. Time-lapse photography reveals the natural process of food and animals molding, decomposing, and ultimately transforming into new forms. Who knew that putrefaction could be so beautiful? Even so, watching this film during your lunch break is probably not a good idea!
As a reminder, all current Leeward CC faculty, staff and students are welcome to use our streaming video services. When accessing our electronic resources from off campus, you may be prompted to log in with your UH credentials first.
