Hawaii State Public Library System

The Hawaii State Public Library System will use funds under the American Rescue Plan Act to help communities respond directly and immediately to the pandemic, as well as to related economic and community needs through equitable approaches in digital inclusion and library services. They will continue to support the goals of their Five-Year Plan for FY 2018-2022. In Hawaii, specific goals address 1) robust technological infrastructure; 2) 24/7 virtual collections; 3) lifelong learning; 4) innovative development to support improved services and programs; and 5) an educated library workforce through the development of staff competencies, training infrastructure, and support for leadership development opportunities.
