From the museum website:
“In alignment with Bishop Museum’s new strategic plan, the Library and Archives collections have been identified as an area of priority in the effort to develop increased access to Museum resources for our community. Effective March 1, 2012, the Library and Archives will temporarily suspend public reference hours and provide limited, by-appointment access to its collections. This temporary closure will allow staff the necessary time to support a museum and community effort to plan and implement a new model of operation for this area. “
