The Honolulu Theatre for Youth will present free performances of “Poetry Fever,” a new stage production, at six selected Oahu public libraries from March to April 2012. 

“Poetry Fever” injects humor to the written and spoken word to discuss topics ranging from local culture to school lunch.  Material for the program is selected from 10 years of exceptional writing by Hawaii’s local students.  The performance provides an authentic voice to the experiences of growing up in modern-day Hawaii and encourages audiences to give thought and voice to their own experiences.

“Hugo,” winner of five Academy Awards and the Golden Globes’ Best Director award (Martin Scorsese), will be shown at Aiea Public Library on Thursday, March 22 at 5:30 p.m.  The free screening of the multi-award-winning movie will be conducted in the Meeting Room.

“Hugo” is the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station.  When Hugo encounters a broken machine, an eccentric girl, and the cold, reserved man who runs the toy shop, he is caught up in a magical, mysterious adventure that could put all of his secrets in jeopardy.

The Friends of Aiea Library is sponsoring this movie event which is rated PG and suitable for ages 5 and older.  All children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver. 

Contact the Library as soon as possible if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed.

Seminar attendees will learn the basics of planting and harvesting, and the many options available to them. Container gardening has become extremely popular in the past few years, as anyone with some sunlight and a little space – even a small lanai or kitchen window box – can grow fresh herbs and vegetables.

Following the seminar, attendees can ask questions one-on-one with Geobunga’s instructor, Keola Kalama, to learn more about their specific container gardening needs. Also after the seminar, attendees can get everything they need to create their own small garden or container garden, including pots, topsoil, potting mix and pre-planted herbs and some vegetables.

To ensure your seat, reservations are highly recommended. Please register for this free seminar by at www.geobunga.com.
