HSPLS Continues Internet PC Reservations Upgrade: Kapolei Library Scheduled for May 30

The Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) will perform an upgrade to its Smart Access Management (SAM) Internet reservation system in the Kapolei Public Library on Thursday, May 30.  The computers at the Kapolei Public Library will be unavailable for reservations on this day through the completion of the upgrade at the Library.  Walk-up sessions may or may not be available, depending on the progress of the upgrade. 

SAM is a computer-based system that allows users to reserve and register for Internet sessions in HSPLS’s 50 public libraries; it helps HSPLS maximize the use of public Internet computers and ensures equal access for our patrons. 

Man from Ewa Beach standoff charged

EWA BEACH, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- The man who was taken into custody after barricading himself and involving police in a standoff in Ewa Beach has been charged.

Mark Char was charged with place to keep and first degree terroristic threatening. His bail was set at $25,000 and was posted.

Earlier this week, units from the Honolulu Police Department's Specialized Services Division were called to a home on Halolani Street in Ewa Beach after a man, who was reported to be armed, barricaded himself inside.

Police said no hostages were involved, but some surrounding neighbors were evacuated from their homes as a safety precaution.
