Maui Friends of the Library. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Flo Wiger.

In the most devastating fire in a century, we have lost both our library and the only bookstore in Lahaina, managed by Maui Friends of the Library. This local nonprofit worked with all the libraries on the island to supplement available inventory and offer enhanced reading resources to young and old.
