Hawaii State Library
Submitted by: Emily Dovermann

In February 2022, the Hawaii State Library welcomed a new managing librarian, Baron Baroza, and reopened its doors to the public after nearly two years of closure due to COVID-19.
As other staff members at the Federal Documents Section, where our PTRC is housed, continue to be temporarily reassigned to cover vacancies at other sections within the library, Emily Dovermann, the PTRC representative, has been the sole staff member.
On August 3, 2022, Emily joined USPTO’s Cathleen Hutchins remotely during her presentation, Intellectual Property 101, at the Molokai Business Conference, and spoke to around 50 attendees from the local business community about the PTRC services at the Hawaii State Library.
