FLH in Action

The primary purpose of Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i is to maintain free public libraries in the State of Hawaii, to promote the extension of library services throughout the State of Hawai‘i, and to increase the facilities of the Hawai‘i State Public Library System by securing materials beyond the command of the ordinary library budget.

Other objectives include focusing attention on libraries and encouraging and accepting, by bequest or gift, donations of books, manuscripts, money, and other appropriate material that can enrich the cultural opportunities available to the people of Hawai‘i.
