Mānoa Public Library will celebrate Earth Month 2016 by partnering with Malama Manoa for the popular Green Saturday event on 4/23/16. There will be a native plant give-away for the first 50 visitors, composting demonstrations, and the chance to meet and learn about popular backyard pets that can be part of a sustainable lifestyle. For keiki, the library has set up a crafting activity and any guest that brings a HI-5 can or bottle will receive a lucky draw ticket.
This year, along with events at the library, posters from the Lexicon of Sustainability will be displayed in the lobby throughout the month of April. Featuring images and the words that define various practices of sustainability, these “information artworks” describe the new practices, people and habits of a sustainable world. Many of the images were gathered here in Hawaiʻi as well as across the US, and feature terms both familiar and unfamiliar.
Green Saturday is just one of many events the library will be hosting to promote a more sustainable lifestyle for valley residents and our friends across the island.
