June 17, 2010 | 09:26 AM It should be law that every keiki have cherished, "small kid time" memories of regular pilgrimages to the library. My own reflections on toddlerdom are happily crowded with little more. See, Mom and I took our excursions seriously. Before brandishing our embossed green cards (remember the old ones?), we'd sit under the shade of a tree, peel the Saran off of a two-pack of manapua and fuel-up before getting our fill of heady bibliomania. We'd exhaust operating hours and always left with a stack of books bigger than I was. One of my favorites was a ruddy orange-colored gem called Concoctions. In it were recipes for shea butter lip balm in foil tubes and how to polish chrome with peanut butter. What you're bound to learn—and the memories you'll make—are boundless at our public libraries. All the more enticing this summer is that the Hawaii State Public Library System enjoys no furloughs in the month of June and July and—amidst a slew of incentives—will offer these upcoming performances in their 2010 Children's Summer Reading Program: Peter and Melinda Wing in "Pirates Ahoy!" Thursday (June 24), 10am, Makawao; Storyteller-Balladeer James McCarthy, Friday (June 25), 10:30am, Kihei and 2pm, Wailuku; and Tuesday (June 29), 11am, Hana. www.librarieshawaii.org ; Makawao: 573-8785, Kihei: 875-6833, Wailuku: 243-5766, Hana: 248-4848
