We will be performing cardholder service maintenance on Feb. 5. During this time, no cardholder services will be available, including access to your account, the catalog, checking out new books through OverDrive and Libby and access to the Poulsbo book lockers. We appreciate your patience as we work toward improving your experience at the Library.
Thanks to many organizations like Densho and the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community, the history of Japanese and Japanese Americans in America has come to light. Yet, there are still untold stories. Except for ship manifests, census reports, death certificates, and obituaries, the Japanese who settled in remote areas in Montana remain essentially unchronicled.
In this combination interview (with Bainbridge Island poet John Willson), poetry reading and slide show, Arlene Naganawa shares her impressions of what she’s excavated about her mother’s family, the Hatsukanos, who settled in Whitefish, MT around 1918.
Presented in partnership with the Bloedel Reserve Creative Residency Program and the Bainbridge Branch of the Kitsap Regional Library
