Mokuau also created the Molokaʻi College and Career Tour Club, which arranges for local students to visit colleges on the mainland. She also co-created Molokaʻi’s Earth Day celebration with neighboring schools and local businesses.
Mokuau said she felt humbled to receive the award. Getting awards like this is not only a great acknowledgement, but it’s also a responsibility to give back further, she said. Libraries are so awesome. It’s like this is a free place for free resources. It can change lives.
