Possible venues
If we do just a picnic, then an park or beach park could do. If we do a Wiknic / edit-a-thon combo, perhaps we use one of our Hawaiʻi State Public Library System (HSPLS) branches that have a meeting room available on a Saturday and either are adjacent to a park or might have grounds that would accommodate a picnic if the branch would allow it. According to the "HSPLS Home Page". Retrieved April 28, 2012. Free wireless Internet access will be available in public libraries statewide beginning on Monday, April 2.
Below is information on the Oahu branches that have Saturday hours, meeting rooms / lanais, and possible picnic spots nearby:
| Oahu branch | Saturday hours | Phone # | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kailua | 10:00am - 5:00pm | 266-9911 | 239 Kuulei Rd. Kailua 96734 | adjacent park, no meeting room, but has two lanais,[3] one covered |
| Waianae | 9:00am - 5:00pm | 697-7868 | 85-625 Farrington Hwy. Waianae 96792 | parks nearby |
| Waimanalo | 10:00am - 2:00pm | 259-2610 | 41-1320 Kalanianaole Hwy. Waimanalo 96795 | parks nearby |
Any other suggestions or thoughts? Peaceray (talk) 07:59, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- I found out the Meeting Rooms cost $25. The only room available in the afternoon after Wiknic time would be Waianae, & I do not want to spend $25 on what might be a light turnout, plus for me it would be a drive across the island. At this point I am inclined to call the Wiknic for Kailua
DistrictBeach Park from 11:30am to 1:30pm. We could then move to either Morning Brew Cafe or Chad Lou Cafe if we wanted to continue. I will check the Wifi signal on the lanai at the Kailua library. Peaceray (talk) 07:50, 8 June 2012 (UTC)- Wifi on the Kailua Library lanais was OK, but the sunlight made it difficult to read. Not much in the way of picnic tables at Kailua District Park, so I think Kailua Beach Park will be better. I get co-ordinates & directions as to where to meet.
