Makana Akamai

In Hawaiian, the phrase makana akamai means the gift of knowledge.

Through the Makana Akamai program, you can donate books to your favorite library branch.

It’s a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, honor someone for a special occasion or donate a book in someone’s memory. Individuals and groups have donated to this program as a way of showing their support for and thanks to their local libraries. Please help carry the 127-year tradition to promote and support Hawaii's public libraries.

You may specify a category or area of interest or select “Librarian’s Choice.” Categories are:
Art/Music/Recreation
Business/Science/Technology
Children’s
