Abstract

Beginning in 1944, the HLA Journal/Newsletter has documented the activities of the Association as well as Hawaiʻi's close-knit library community. The intent of the publication has been to take a snapshot of what local librarianship has looked like over the years and how library professionals have responded to current events. Want to know what happened to the Punahou School Library during World War II? Did you know that the Hawaiian Telecom librarians staffed Directory Assistance during a company strike in 1974? Those stories are in past newsletters, and old issues are publicly available for you to browse. After a decade of being out-of-commission, the Newsletter was revitalized in 2019 under the name of Kolekole, or “talk story.” The presenters will share how the newsletter was relaunched last year, the goals in capturing the stories of our community, and how you can contribute. Let’s all do our part to ensure that our local library achievements and activities are documented for future generations.
