In celebration of the 2013 HSPLS Summer Reading Programs, Aiea Public Library will offer free events and a movie screening in June.  All events will be conducted in the Meeting Room:

“Is Fukushima Still a Radiation Threat Two Years Later?,” a free program, will be presented at Pearl City Public Library on Sunday, May 5 at 2 p.m. in the Adult Reading Section.

Dean Otsuki will discuss how Japan, the Pacific Ocean, the jetstream, and the United States have been affected by radiation still spewing from the disabled nuclear power plant.  Otsuki will also share what information Tokyo Electric Power Company, the Japanese and U. S. governments have been providing the public about Fukushima, and what steps can be taken to protect you from radiation exposure. 

This one-hour program is suitable for ages 12 and older and will include a question-and-answer session.  Contact the Library as soon as possible if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed.

WHAT: 

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Geobunga will host a free Mother’s Day Orchid Workshop that will teach attendees how to transplant, split, prune and properly care for orchid plants. Geobunga will have hundreds of beautiful orchids available at farm-direct wholesale prices, starting as low as $5.
