I'm hoping that someone on this list can help me (relatively quickly).
I'm preparing an annual report for our Library Retreat tomorrow. The retreat theme this year is Hawaiian, and the phrase being used in the communication exercise is "Kupaianaha Hale Waihona Puke" which I am told means "Amazing, Extraordinary Library"
Does anyone please know the phrase if you substitute the word ARCHIVES for Library? "Amazing, Extraordinary Archives."
Thanks!
