Out Loud in the Library at Windward Community College<\/a> presents a reading, music and book signing of We Go Jam<\/em> on Thursday, February 21, 6–8 p.m.<\/p>\n

The newly released book, We Go Jam: Celebrating Our Music, Our Soundscape, Our Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/em><\/a>, is a collection of stories about Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s rich and diverse musical heritage published by the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Council for the Humanities<\/a>. Contributing authors Puakea Nogelmeier, Jerry Santos, Calvin Hoe, Thelma Chang, Aiko Yamashiro, and editor Susan Yim will be in attendance.<\/p>\n

Out Loud in the Library is coordinated by Windward CC<\/abbr> English instructor and award-winning poet Janine Oshiro<\/strong>. The event is sponsored by the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Council for the Humanities and Windward CC<\/abbr>. It is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

“Nothing brings us together quite so wholeheartedly as does music, connecting us to a place and telling stories about ourselves and the world around us. We Go Jam is a pure humanities project and we are happy to join Windward Community College in celebrating the music of Kāneʻohe<\/span> and Windward Oʻahu<\/span>,” said HCH Executive Director Bob Buss.<\/p>\n

Music, reading and book signing<\/h2>\n

The festivities begin at 6 p.m. at the breezeway entrance to Windward CC<\/abbr>’s new Library Learning Commons. The college’s TRiO students will perform and refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n

From 6:30 to 8 p.m., activities move to the library atrium on the first floor with a special reading and more music.<\/p>\n

The book will be on sale for a special price of $10 during the evening. Ten books will also be given away in a Write to Win contest. Participants can write 100 words or less about what a song, or music, means to them and bring it to the event or be inspired at the event.<\/p>\n
