Libraries are all about community, connection, and a whole lot of library joy!

Our UH Mānoa LIS Program ʻohana had the absolute pleasure of meeting the one and only Mychal Threets at the 2026 Hawaiʻi School Libraries Conference in Honolulu! Getting to connect with someone who shares such a deep passion for literacy, representation, and the power of library spaces was an unforgettable highlight for our faculty, staff, and students.

Mahalo, Mychal, for spreading so much light and reminding us all why we love this work! 🌴🌈📖
