- N/a
- A high priority for the college, including the library, should be to promote Hawaiian language through bilingual signage throughout the building. It would not have to be expensive. It would be a visible endorsement of the language. It would say to the library users: "We think learning this language is important for us, and we think it's important for you, too." It is a crucial step toward normalizing the learning and use of the language in its own homeland.

What can be improved at the Leeward CC Library?
25 responses
- Computers, need more computers and other electronic devices for the sake of researching and studying.
- I hope we'll be able to acquire more digital books and audio books. I'd also love to see an "Instructor's Corner" with titles we can check out for professional development. I'm a fan of all the titles in the Teachers College Press catalog. Maybe there could be a "Children's Corner" too for students/faculty and their children? A weekly story time for the keiki in the Children's Center? I bet you could find students and faculty to volunteer to read aloud. :) These are just some ideas. Thank you so much for everything you do. My students and I LOVE the Library!

- It would be helpful if there were a way to stream a video: "Ingredients Hawaii." It shows students how people, especially islanders, are taking control of the food system here. It's eye-opening and empowering for them.

- Fix the leaky roof!
- get access to more electronic Journals
- Is there a way we can reserve rooms for faculty to meet with students? I share an office with another Instructor and we sometimes need a space to meet with students. If there is, I'm not aware of it...can you communicate this benefit to the faculty and have a reservation website so we can book availability online?
- If they are not booked for a group, it would be nice to be able to have access to the small study rooms next to the LRC for a one to one meeting
- more computer
- noting
- more space for desks and chairs and more had copy books.
- It's difficult to use the printers. I always need to ask for help from a library or friend to use the printer. It's very difficult.
- to my side everything is perfect
