About

Welcome to the Kaimuki Public Library! Designed by local architect Shoso Kagawa, our library opened on June 17, 1965. Our busy regional library opens 6 days a week and is one of only 3 public libraries open on Sundays. In 2015, our library celebrated its 50th Anniversary.


Upcoming events at this branch

Mobile phone and laptop computer with security warnings

Please join us for a 90 minute workshop on cyber safety.  This class is for adults who want to learn how to stay safe online.  Through interactive activities, videos, and group discussion, participants will learn to identify common types of cyberattacks, how to mitigate cybercrime, and learn what to do should you experience a cyberattack.

This class is being led by the non-profit group “The Cyber Safe Seniors” an organization who has successfully taught many older adult groups on how to navigate a digital lifestyle safely.
