Hi`ilei Media Center
Our library is named after Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop’s nickname: Hi`ilei. Did you know Princess Pauahi was often found reading under a tree to several children? You can tell that she was an avid reader too.
Our library is also called a media center because it houses 16,000 various types of media including books, magazines, newspapers, videos, DVDs, CD-ROMS, and study prints. These various media formats support both the curriculum and students’ interests. The media center also has a collection of Hawaiian books, videos, and artifacts. Computers in the media center are available for students to access the online catalog and the internet, and are also used to support students with school assignments.
Information Literacy
Students come to Hi`ilei Media Center to learn about reading and research skills that meet the 21st Century Learner Standards. This involves learning about how the library is organized, using resources for research by taking notes, encouraging students to appreciate reading, and locating information. Students may use the OPAC to find books in our library, click here to begin a search.
