The second Thursday of every month, the Honoka`a Library hosts the Hamakua Friends of the Library Book Club.

Open to all, this meeting will discuss Lucinda Fleeson’s Waking Up in Eden: In Pursuit of An Impassioned Life on an Imperiled Island. “Like so many of us, Lucinda Fleeson wanted to escape what had become a routine life. So, she quit her big-city job, sold her suburban house, and moved halfway across the world to the island of Kauai to work at the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Imagine a one-hundred-acre garden estate nestled amid ocean cliffs, rain forests, and secluded coves. Exotic and beautiful, yes, but as Fleeson awakens to this sensual world, exploring the island’s food, beaches, and history, she encounters an endangered paradise-the Hawaii we don’t see in the tourist brochures.”

All programs are subject to change. If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days before the program date.
