North Shore NewsAfter a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Friends of the Library of Hawai’i (FLH) once again presented the Public Librarian of the Year Award at the end of February. Kahuku’s own Public and School Library Branch Manager Tamara King was honored as a Public Librarian of the Year.
Tamara King’s passion for her work shines through in her role as branch manager at Kahuku public library, where she has realized her dream of librarianship. She deeply appreciates the tight-knit community, the web of relationships, and the support system that thrives within it. Through programs like the Ko’olauloa Battle of the Books, bringing together local schools for a friendly book competition at Turtle Bay Resort each April, she has truly engaged the North Shore community.
Our Friends of the Library Kahuku Board proudly extends a warm congratulations to our wonderful librarian and friend, Tamara. Also we would like to congratulate Elizabeth Knight (Youth Services Librarian at Makawao Public Library in Maui) and Susan Nakata (Section Head of the Library Development Services Section in Honolulu).
