Library specific information
A couple of times a week, volunteers come to the library and read stories to any children who show up on that day.
If you wish to volunteer to read to the children , please contact the librarian. We welcome anyone who can read English or Marshallese.
Children of all age – in general from 5 to 12 year old – attend the reading session and are a enthusiastic and captive audience.
Our library is the only public library in the country, and is used by all age groups. Most of our general collection are books which have been donated by various people through the years, so there is a large variety of reading materials available. 
We also have a room dedicated to children’s books. The books are new and relevant, and interesting to the children. Daily about 20-30 children use this room to read and look at the books.
