I love to read. I never thought I could get into reading an e-book. However, my brother bought me a Kindle and I have never looked back. The wonderful thing about the Kindle is it makes it so much easier for me to read for free by borrowing books from the library. I used to take my children to the library to borrow books and so I used my daughter’s library card for me to borrow books to read on my Kindle. Her library card finally expired and rather than ask her to renew it for me, I decided to finally renew mine.


I went to the Hilo Public Library to get my card and saw that the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge starts on June 1!
