Library Learning Commons – Windward Community College
The Meixells decided that they wanted to help. Interim Head Librarian Tara Severns suggested that they support the READ (reading-for fun) section. “The more someone reads, no matter what it is, the better they become at reading.” Severns continued, “The better they become at reading, the better they become at writing, both essential skills for student success.”

Catherine Wilson, the first librarian of Windward CC has also made a gift to support the Library endowment. A plaque in memory of her daughter has been mounted on a bookshelf on the upper floor to honor her daughter’s love of anthropology.
Also placing her plaque on a bookshelf is Windward CC alumna and longtime donor Barbara Kahana. Barbara has great aloha for the campus and the educational opportunities it afforded her when she came back to college as a 'non-traditional' student. Her support of the campus extends beyond the Library Learning Commons, and includes a scholarship.
