New Playground for the Children of Pohnpei

Pohnpei Public Library (PPL) was very fortunate to receive a donation of playground equipment from MAHI International. It was one of the dreams for most of the children of Pohnpei to have here to help with recreational activities. The Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library (FPPL) and the staff are very glad to have this outside the library to bring more kids at the library. The playground is open to public use (Children ages 12 and under), Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Children need to be accompanied by adult at all times.

With the assistance of many supporters and contributors, the playground was completed on February 20, 2016. FPPL and PPL would like to express their sincere gratitude to the following for their support and contributions to this project.
