“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused our Honokaa Public Library patrons,” said State Librarian Stacey Aldrich.
While the library is closed, patrons can contact or visit any of the other public libraries on the Big Island.
In addition, patrons can log on to the Hawaii State Public Library System website located at www.librarieshawaii.org to:
• Renew books and most library materials online for an additional three weeks if there are no reserves on the items. Only one renewal per item is allowed. Items not eligible for renewal are Hot Picks, DVDs, videotapes and overdue materials.
• Browse the HSPLS catalog for book titles, eBooks, digital audio books and its wide variety of online databases that provide access to full-text materials from thousands of magazines, newspapers, journals and other publications.
• Get answers to brief informational reference questions by using the “Ask-A-Librarian” E-Reference service: select the “Information” tab, click on “E-Reference” and follow the simple instructions. A library card is not required to use this service.
All items checked out with a due date from Aug. 11 to the reopening date will be extended.
