About

Welcome to the Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library! Designed by Cyril Lemmon and Associates, we opened on July 11, 1952, at the Diamond Head end of the Ala Wai Canal. Known for its cathedral-like windows, our library serves “snow birds” during the winter from the mainland, Canada, and other visitors worldwide.


Upcoming events at this branch

Celebrate clean water with crafts, body movement, hydroponics, genki ball tossing, and learning for all ages on the Waikiki Library lawn. Festival presenters include Genki Ala Wai Project, the Sierra Club, Honolulu Board of Water Supply, and Hawaii Youth Climate Coalition.

Program is for families and community members of all ages.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible.
