The campus is beautiful. With beautiful trees, and the lawns are perfectly nice. And it's right next to the courthouse. There are feral chickens on the property. Walking around everywhere. They will never bother you.

Each public library location had a specific date and time set up for this event. We've never experienced a "Santa Claus Story Time" before and it was really fun and different from the norm. In addition to reading several books, this Santa also sang holiday songs. This was a very holly, jolly, personable Santa with a real beard. Definitely recommend! I posted multiple pictures and videos, so I hope all of them actually post with this review (sometimes it doesn't happen).

Besides getting information, reading can increase your empathy, decrease your stress level, and improve your intelligence and brain functioning! That's why I fully support the Friends of the Kaneohe Library! Volunteers maintain the bookstore and donate items (like calendars, notepads, plushies, and knick knacks) to sell to the public at a reasonable price! Everything is categorized and labelled well. The free items are outside the shop and the Children's section is inside the second room. Remember to look at the Hawaiiana and discounted books. There are also videos, records, and games for sale! This is an amazing treasure chest! Come to Kaneohe Library now! The Friends of the Kaneohe Library's bookstore is on the ground level next to the free parking lot. Staff are so helpful and friendly - the cashier gave me a bookmarker even though I didn't buy anything this visit!

Kalihi-Palama Public Library is a gem of a community resource nestled in the hustle and bustle of…read morethe Kalihi-Palama area. Unlike some other public library branches I've never experienced a lack of parking. Of course , the main branch due to it's midtown location has no public parking but that's what urbanization brings. The library itself has all the typical modern resources one would expect in this age if technology which enables patrons to gain equal access despite its location and physical facilities which although over 60 years old provides all the amenities of a state-wide library system. While other really newly built and upgraded branches have the luxury of large spaces, carpeting, spread out study areas, and "cool" ambience, Kalihi-Palama's staffing "quality": friendly, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile. This staffing "quality" extends to the custodial services, security, and part-time student helpers who restock the books. The donated book sales shelves are bright and well-organized and the same is true of the free magazine display. The new book selection is second to none and the online interlibrary book reservation option for new and current selections is available via the in-house computers and home digital instruments. Beyond books, one can borrow a ukulele, and get personal computer, smart phone tutorial assistance by appointment. What's not to like? One couldn't ask for more! I

Library services in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Since I signed up for our local Summer Reading Program (June 1 to July 31, 2026), I thought that I should look for a good book or two to read. I think I used to visit Liliha Library with my mom and three sisters. I should ask them - because I'm sure that we went to the main library by 'Iolani Palace. I'm not sure about Liliha Library. Parking here is much better than at the main Library. Just drive up the ramp and park on the upper level for free, then walk down the stairs. There are a couple of ADA stalls on the ground floor, at the entrance. The interior has been nicely renovated. It's spacious, clean, and bright. I really liked the Chinese area and noticed that there are Chinese decorations on some of the signs - like the ones for the restrooms! Service was very helpful and efficient. I was asked if I needed help. I said that I was looking for the Hawaiian word of the week. It's part of the activities os the Summer Reading Program. The librarian pointed to a table and walked me over. Ooh... Besides the word of the week, there was a BINGO card for extra prizes and entries into the drawing for the trip on Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines! Yay! For sure, I'll be back for the next word of the week and maybe one of the free classes. One of the BINGO activities is to attend a program at the library, so... I'll return soon!

With the…read moreadaptation of technology and online books I never thought that a store like this would still exist! They had a ton of literature books at every single book and cranny of this store and it was substantial. I saw an old Aesop Fables book that I read when I was younger on the shelves as well - very nostalgic. I'm more of a manga girl so I didn't really see too much nooks that interested me - but if you're really into hardcore literature than this place is definitely it. They had so much books categorized and it felt a bit overwhelming - yet I liked it. I love the smell of books when you walk in, very comforting. I love physical books as well so shops like these are a gem. Had people manning the cashier but mostly just people browsing around enjoying the selection of books. Did not see the price range, but I would assume it is standard in comparison to B&N pricing.

Some people just are having a day sometimes. I loved how many things there were to look at I unfortunately had to also think about the fact that I was gonna be flying home with weight but if you're a book lover, definitely stop by and give this place a look at
