I’m tired of being responsible, and I hate being told what to do.

Yet I remind myself: being cautious is about keeping each other safe. Please assume our Thursday readup at Kahala Mall is canceled again. If conditions are miserable, let’s leave the streets for people who have no choice but to be on them, and let’s keep ourselves out of the way so our public safety people can do their jobs.

Stay safe and dry. If it looks like the weather in town is accommodating Thursday evening, we can always reverse the call, but this doesn’t appear likely. DM me on our social media channels if you have questions, or text me at 830-255-7423 (830-ALL-RICE).

Read something dangerous. Don’t DO something dangerous. I miss you and can’t wait to ignore you in person again, so please tell me what you’re reading!

Thursday! April 2! 5 to 6:50!

Join us for quiet reading at the Hawaii State Library.

Emily the Librarian is our host in the Language, Literature, and History section. That’s on the first floor, the left wing as you enter, straight back.

Parking. There’s metered parking all around. Street parking is free after 6. The nearest lot is at Iolani Palace (metered, free after 6), which is also secure, because the palace locks the gate at 6. If you wish to leave before the library closes at 7, just let a security guard know and they’ll open the gate for you.

We’ll spend the first half hour chatting and taking voluntary photos. Then we’ll read for an hour, and then call it a night, or chat a little more. The library closes at 7.

Bring something to read! If you forget your book at home, they might have a few things lying around you might take a look at — or take home!

The Boba Room event with Noah is rescheduled for Saturday the 25th! I hated to delete the original April schedule with its (for us) enormous engagement, but it’s better to delete bad info if you can, so we did.

Details for each event as its date approaches. Until then, add these to your planner and let’s get ready to reeeeeeeeead!
