Hawaii State Library Submitted by: Emily Dovermann
Staffing Change: We welcomed Kevin Allen as Patent and Trademark Librarian and Jerome Nicolas as U.S. Government Information Librarian. Both come with extensive librarian experience. Jerome has since transitioned to lead our Serials Section. Additionally, our Library Assistant, Emelinda Casco, has officially taken on the role as our library’s permanent Administrative Secretary.
In September, Jerome and Kevin participated in the Hawaii Pacific University Student Resource Fair for outreach.
The Ornamental Patents Coloring and Christmas Tree Decorating Activity program was offered again in December.
In February, Jerome designed an engaging and festive Valentine’s Day bulletin board display.
