Book Talk!
We're so excited to host our very first event in over two years, and the first event in our new location on Kilauea Ave!
Please come by and talk story with author Marie Alohalani Brown about her book Ka Po'e Mo'o Akua: Hawaiian Reptillian Water Dieties.
This event will be held in the open air behind the store, but please enter through our front door at 334 Kilauea Ave.
Masks are not required, but they are welcome. You can purchase a copy ahead of the event here on our website and pick it up on the day of the event, or pick one up in-store.
We also have her other books The Penguin Book of Mermaids, and Facing the Spears of Change: The Life and Legacy of John Papa 'I'i.
