I've only visited this particular library a couple of times but I really like it. It is smaller…read morewith a smaller selection of books and computers but it's very cute. On the last visit here, I took the not so little one to do some summer time studies in his workbooks that I purchased from Costco to get him prepared for next year. The library was not very crowded and very clean and all of the employees (especially Betsy) were helpful. The Summer Reading Program starts in June every year so we were a little behind schedule on signing up but it was easy like always. The not so little one finally got his own library card and we borrowed a bunch of books of his choosing and we left there very happy.

Originally, we were just going to take a quick peek, but ended up spending a little more time here than expected! The library workers were super friendly and let us know that if we had a Hawaiʻi State Library card, we could borrow books here and return them on Oʻahu. One of us took advantage of that and checked out two books to bring home. It's a smaller library, but clean, well organized, and not very crowded when we visited. They also had some nice displays throughout the space. A nice little stop we probably wouldn't have thought to visit otherwise. Worth popping in if you're already exploring Makawao!

We printed our return flight boarding passes for only .15 a page even though the website says .20 per page that is a great deal since our time share is .25 per page with a minimum charge of $2.00 to use the computers with wifi. Anyway this is a nice place to relax and read a magazine or the newspaper and if you decide on the visitor's check out some library books during your stay.

A never received 1099R for a deceased loved one brought me to the local Social Security office,…read morewithout an appointment. I did have an online account for said person but the website changed and I couldn't recreate a new log in. PARKING: There were 13 on-street, 1-hour parking stalls (which are never unoccupied) fronting the building, or a parking garage with supposedly high rates according to other reviewers. I forced my spouse to do a drop off & pick up! EXPERIENCE: Located on the first floor of One Main Plaza, security will escort you in while asking some safety questions. He then had me check in on the slow-responding kiosk which issued a ticket number, just like the DMV. The small office had an adequate amount of chairs and 8 windows. A TV screen showed called numbers but no chimes or alerts were sounded to get your attention, but the security guard, out of the goodness of his heart, would verbally announce the numbers and which window to go to. I was called in about 30 minutes which I thought was pretty quick judging by the amount of people waiting. The guy who helped me asked for a death certificate, which I had on my phone but I wasn't allowed to email it to them to see or print out. I did have a hard copy POA which he thankfully accepted along with a few security questions. 5 minutes later I had document in-hand! I think he knew my predicament and assisted me fully because he cared. Much appreciated and thank you! OVERALL: If you've had a bad experience here, I'm pretty sure you were partly to blame. Be civil and you'll go far.

I just wish we had got the gentleman's name so I could give him a personal shout out here! We had to visit the DHS to complete the process and he made sure we knew what to ask for, gave us some print outs and forms to take with us, and made sure we knew where we were going. He was empathetic and helpful and it was such a relief as we though it was going to be a hard process after dealing with the Red Cross and FEMA recently in the Lahaina disaster. Easy parallel street parking outside, friendly security guard at the entrance will show you the way, the security guard at Soc Sec welcomes you and shows you the ropes. Sooo easy. Mahalo to everyone at the Soc Sec office for helping us.

During the winter months it tends to get cold at parties so dress warm.

I had no idea this place existed until recently as I was invited to a birthday celebration here…read more The complex is 7 acres in size and includes a community center and 4 cement tennis courts. COMMUNITY CENTER: The open-air, single level, rectangular-shaped building was just the right size for a party and can accommodate about 200 people. A small kitchen is on one end, a stage at the other, and restrooms out back. Views of the outside are second to none as windows line the entire front and back of the hall. The facility is older but is in exceptional shape. I did hear from the party host that she had to bring in some rented tables and chairs at her expense as the ones they provide weren't in the best shape. TENNIS COURTS: There are 4 of them but I didn't check it out. TIP: Sunsets here are killer! OVERALL: It was a further drive for me but I'm glad the party was here rather than at the decrepit Eddie Tam venue in Makawao.

WCC is aka the Velma McWayne Santos community center, was once the shining jewel of Maui's public…read morevenues, but has since been trumped by newer, climate-controlled buildings in other areas. The building is made with hollow tile which is a natural insulator, resulting in a cool interior despite the hot conditions outside, and ceiling fans aid in the cooling process. The open beam ceilings provide for an airy feeling. The space can be divided into 3 separate rooms or 1 big one which holds about 400-450 people max. There are lots of big windows that allow natural light to pour in. The fixed stage is equipped with a garage door backdrop that leads to the back of the facility and allows for easy set up for bands & entertainment. The only downfall is the tiny parking lot. There's an adjacent parking lot next door for park users but more than likely a sporting event will be happening so parking is normally super tight.
