I think it's because the "security" guard stays sitting inside instead of walking around and patrolling the outside. Maybe they need to hire more security? Literally the only thing wrong with this library is the front door issue with cussing, vaping, smoking and general safety and health issues.

I just had to fill out the application. I finally got a card after almost three years of living here lol It's definitely worth it because I can check out books, DVDs, and pretty much anything they offer in the library. I know it's old school but us older generation still comes to the library to read books. I enjoy a wide variety of books including mystery and suspense. I like books that keep me reading. Plenty of parking right up front and the restrooms are right near the entrance/exit. I would come back over and over to see what interesting books are available.

Reads in the Red I…read moredidnt know this place existed, and didnt know what the red building was until I approached this place after I was in the area. Is the building red because of the red dirt? If so thats is pretty thorough planning. This library is small but contained troves of books and novelties. There is also computers there so its a nice balance between the old and new. I haven't been to a library in awhile and from I saw, it was only very young kids in there and older people. I guess all the people in between dont have a use for the library as much as before, but its nice to walk into one as if traversing the annals of history. Please stay, we still need you.

They have monthly craft events, movie nights and more! We especially love Wednesday story time. There's lots of space for little ones with singing, dancing, a craft and of course book reading. Every 1st Wednesday they have puzzles and STEM toys out for little ones to play. Lastly, for older kids and adults, they offer all kinds of reading challenges some through logging books manually, some through the Beanstack app. Currently, during the Olympics, they have a reading challenge where you earn medals! They also have another challenge where you log books to earn prizes. Most recently, we participated in therapets event where you could read to a therapy dog. My daughter loved petting all the dogs and getting to know them! Overall, we absolutely love learning, reading, and playing at the library! Overall, we love learning, reading, and playing here!

Shhhhhhh!!... As…read moreit's been awhile since I've stepped foot in a library and I don't know why as I do love a place to relax and get work done while my phone as gone through a day of use it also needed some recharging as well badly. Looking around some libraries as closed at 4pm but this Aiea location was open until 7pm that made it very convenient as I do see many use it for various reasons. Parking lot in the back is quite large and had no problems finding a spot while the restrooms are outside for public use is very nice as well. As i entered found it so nice and spacious with lots of tables though many spots are taken for the ones that needed outlets to work I did end up finding more designated tables and outlets use to charge is very cool. The vibe here is very relaxing and now will keep libraries in mind for times that I do need to sit and relax along with a restroom break as well all provided to the public is something we all need to remember. Thank you!

Next time I'm there I'll take more pics and post! See you on Yelp!

The ceiling lights remind me of my grandma's old living room! There's useful resources when entering like bus routes, tax forms, the new ENV sewer credit application, etc. The library is organized & reference signs are clear. It's quiet (like it should be). There's computer areas, charging station, children's room, another room in back, a meeting room for activities/games, that you could also rent. There's a atrium (or something like that - see pic). There's free weekly activities for the communitiy to join (what we waiting for)! The staff is friendly and explanatory. Tips: Cash or checks only! Hot list books & DVD's are 1 week rental, all other books, even ukulele's can rent 3 weeks and return to any state public library! You can also do Self checkout if you feeling anti social. Speaking of, it's Mental Health Awareness month & they caringly put out resources, pamphlets & book suggestions to help with that Happy reading!

They've got bunches of books from every genre, along with DVDs and games you can checkout as well. The DVDs and games have a limited number you can check out, but you can check out all the books you want! What I'm not a huge fan of is their non fiction section. There's only non-fiction, there's no autobiography, historical categories, they're just all together, which makes it harder to find what you're looking for. Read some books people!
