“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.
They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
– Anna Quindlen in How Reading Changed My Life
There is nothing like a good book. Reading can make you happier and healthier, reducing your stress, showing you new worlds, promoting empathy and self-care. We love books at the ARTS. Books and Art of all kinds go hand in hand.
This month at the ARTS at Marks, we are delighted to feature one of our amazing partners, The Friends of the Library of Hawai’i. One of my favorite parts of the ARTS at Marks is the comforting presence of the Friends of the Library’s bookstore.
If you are not familiar with the Friends of the Library, they exist to promote and support the fifty-one public libraries that make up the Hawai‘i State Public Library System. Since 1879, FLH has worked to increase the facilities and the extension of services of free public libraries in Hawai‘i. Today, Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i is a nonprofit organization that continues the work of its illustrious founding members and supporters, who included prominent business leaders and Hawaiian royalty.
Our gallery will showcase art from their vast collection in a show titled, “Every Picture Has a Story.” We will also host The Hawaii Young Actor’s Ensemble as they bring the Bard’s words to life in their production of “The Tempest.”
As Stephen King says, “Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
We hope that you will visit us this May and enjoy the magic of a good book and the art that they inspire.
