Hawaii Literacy

Volunteer opportunities

bookmobile

Our Bookmobiles travel from the Wai‘anae Coast to Kalihi-Palama and the surrounding areas of Honolulu, as well as South Kona and Oceanview. We provide families access to books, educational materials, and, hopefully, a lifelong love of reading and learning. We visit after-school programs, affordable housing developments, transitional housing, and shelters to serve the community. During the summer, we also stop at various Summer Fun sites.
