ALU LIKE

ALU LIKE, Inc.’s Native Hawaiian Library will address key issues identified by the Native Hawaiian community in a recent needs assessment: (1) improve access to library and literacy services; (2) increase awareness of the Native Hawaiian Library; and (3) assist Native Hawaiians in documenting their genealogy. To meet these, ALU LIKE, Inc. and its partners will expand access services to both traditional and digital library materials; develop learning boxes based on Hawaiian themes and promote them through creative outreach programming; assist elders and children to develop a culturally based and family-centered reading pilot program; and develop a five-year strategic plan for the organization.
