Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i works with many community organizations and partners on projects where donationsof used books are needed. Working with State Senator Glenn Wakai, FLH volunteers sorted 60 boxes of books over the period of one month for a donation to Saipan that Senator Wakai organized.
On June 9th, 2012 the container arrived in Saipan. "Your generosity allowed us to enhance their public schools’ educational resources. Thank you so much for supporting REPAC and caring for those around the Pacific. WE are making a difference." said Wakai in an email. An article in the Saipan Tribune documented the donation of medical supplies and other equipment in addition to the books.
