North Kohala Public Library in Kapaau will host  the second of three Hawai’i History  “talk story” sessions with Kohala historian, Boyd D. Bond, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 6.   In the discussion, “Daily Life in World War II,” Bond will talk about the impact of the war and the military presence on the local families in Hawaii.

Boyd Bond’s knowledge of Hawaii’s history stems from his academic studies and from a lifetime spent in Hawaii as a 6^th generation descendent of early western settlers in Hawaii.  Boyd was raised in Hawaii in a sugar plantation family, living on plantations throughout the state.

Of his interest in Hawaiian history, Bond says, “I can’t ever remember a time when I wasn’t immersed in it.  Many of the stories of Hawaii’s history are also our family stories.”  Bond earned a BA in Hawaiian history from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and went on to earn a masters degree in education.

Program schedule is subject to change.  Contact the library 15 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
