Mccully-Moiliili Library Gets $5,500 DVD Donation McCully-Moiliili Public Library received a donation of Korean television drama and feature film DVDs, valued at over $5,500, from the Korean Library Foundation on November 16th. This generous donation included a total of 27 copies of 14 different kinds of popular Korean television dramas such as "Winter Sonata," "Full House," and "All In," each of which has more than 100 customers waiting to borrow the title. In addition, the Foundation donated "The King & Clown," one of this year's biggest hit movies in Korea. These DVDs will be added to the Korean language collection of more than 17,000 books and other materials housed at the McCully-Moiliili Public Library. Customers with a valid library card may borrow the DVDs for seven days at $1.00 per copy. By using the Hawaii State Public Library System's online reserve feature, customers can specify the library where they would like to pick up the DVDs. The "Korean Wave" has been an overwhelming success in Hawaii, thanks to the phenomenal growth of the Korean television drama and film industry. It is hoped that this latest donation will assist non-Korean speaking local residents to learn more about and enjoy Korean culture. Formerly known as Moon's Book Club, the Korean Library Foundation was established in 2005 to assist the Hawaii State Public Library System raise funds to purchase Korean language books and other materials. # # # Paul H.
