Welcome Back to Wayde Oshiro...

...Our New Head Librarian

It’s an exciting time for the Library. Not only have we welcomed Wayde Oshiro back to the Leeward Campus as our new head librarian, but there are two major events we’ll be hosting in April and May.

National Library Week (April 14-17) and “The Final Countdown” (April 30-May 1) will contain several fun, interactive programs. Please join us as we celebrate the work we do as your Library and the end of the semester!
