Try Think(ing) at the Library: Hawaii Council for the Humanities and Hawaii State Public Library System together to explore community engagement

Libraries offer programming to the community in our physical spaces. Beginning in mid 2020 we started offering virtual programming instead of physical programming. HCH brought community engagement to a wide variety of public spaces including the libraries. In mid 2020 they also began offering virtual engagement to the public. Both organizations began to shift individually to meet the needs of their communities. Then HCH brought an idea to HSPLS, a collaboration; a virtual edition of their very successful Try Think program. This is that story.
