THAI DINNER TO CELEBRATE

Celebrated librarian award yesterday with delish dinner at Maile’s Thai Bistro last night. (April24).

Forgot to shoot pix of spring rolls, a traditional way to start the meal…and ordered Thai fried chicken, a veggie plate with pork, and Thai chow fun with wide noodles. Yummy, yummy, yummy, with enough leftovers for dinner tonight.

A THANK YOU TO LIBRARIANS

I want to thank the Hawaii Association of School Librarians (HASL) for honoring me earlier today (April 24) as the organization’s Outstanding Library Service Award winner this year.

As a spouse of a former librarian and retired professor, I simply have been a helping hand at DOE workshops and American Association of School Librarians and American Library Association conventions over the decades. That’s what a spouses does: kokua when needed.

So arigato to Sandy Yamamoto, Carolyn Kirio and M.B. Ogawa for nominating me, and mahalo to librarians past and present for decades of support and aloha. And a shout-out to HASL co-presidents Danielle Fujii and Maricar Kawasaki for their successful virtual conference via Zoom this morning.
