School asks public to help fill its library

The Honolulu Advertiser reports

Rows of bare bookshelves gather dust, and aging computers rest in silence inside the unusually quiet library at Kalani High School.

It’s a place rarely used by students or teachers that sits above the school’s main office, with a dusty tile floor, wobbly tables and a few stacks of books. The average book in the school’s collection is 30 years old. Many were published more than two generations ago. For science publications, that might as well be the Stone Age.
