The idea came to her after being asked why she was interested in a book business when \"Hawaiians don't read.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next ten years, a number of community events found Meyer in the mix with a table of books, mostly published by Bishop Museum Press and the University of Hawai'i Press. Native Books distributed books to booksellers, schools, libraries, and walk-in customers in Kalihi. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motto, getting \"good books in good hands,\" inspired the earliest years of Native Books. The brands' focus was also \"mai ke kumu a ka welau\" - from the trunk to the tip of the leaf. This is a directive to carry every book in print about every aspect of Hawai'i.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFind Native Books Inc.
