UH Manoa Hamilton Library Sat. AM Authors Series
The University of Hawaii at Manoa Hamilton Library will host another Saturday Morning Authors series beginning on Saturday, January 21 and ending April 8. All talks will be held in the Eugene Yap Room, A153 Hamilton Library, beginning with refreshments and author signing (if applicable) at 10am followed by the talk and discussion from 10:30am-11:30am.
This free series is a Public Services Division initiative generously supported by the University Librarian. Working with me as the series coordinator this semester is Sarah Myhre, a senior at UH Manoa and library student worker in SciTech.
