Happy International Women's Day!
For this month, Leeward CC Library is celebrating the royal lineage of Hawai'i by featuring books about our Queens and Princesses. We will also be featuring books by notable women in Hawai'i, such as Haunani-Kay Trask, Brandy Nālani McDougall, Ann Inoshita, and Juliete S. Kono! Come by the library and check out our selected books written by all the amazing women from Hawai'i.
This month is dedicated to powerful writers sharing their own stories and histories across fiction and nonfiction works.
"So my advice to other young writers: Read widely. Study other writers. Be thoughtful, Then go out and do the work of changing the form, finding your own voice, and saying what you need to say. Be fearless. And care."
- Glory Edim, Well-Read Black Girl
