The new East Oahu Bookmobile will begin service in mid-August!
On the Bookmobile, children can read and check out books, as well as participate in literacy-related activities each day. There are also books for young people and adults to enjoy. The Bookmobile is equipped with tablets for the children and/or their caregivers to use.
HOURS
Mon 3:00-4:30pm Kahauiki Village - 2475 N Nimitz Hwy (*greatest need for volunteer help)
Weds 1:30-3:00pm Kukui Gardens - 1103 Liliha Street
Volunteers are welcome to assist at one or more sites with literacy activities, reading to children, helping adults and children check out books and use the tablet computers. Currently, site visits are weekday afternoons.
As the East Oahu route is new, we anticipate that Bookmobile visits at the communities we serve may start off small, but will increase rapidly over the coming months. We welcome volunteers who are interested in helping us to build the welcoming, fun, and educational environment that our Bookmobiles are known for!
A criminal background check is required.
