Kalani Kapahua has become offsite events manager. He will coordinate the logistics for the store's many offsite events.
Niki Marion has become children's books outreach manager, a newly created position. She will coordinate programming and events for young readers, both in schools and in-store.
Events and marketing manager Zak Nelson is leaving Third Place Books, effective September 13.

Sam Kaas has done a remarkable job growing out off-site events program this past year, and Kalani Kapahua and Niki Marion have been invaluable assets to their respective departments."
