NORTH KOHALA PUBLIC LIBRARY
North Kohala Public Library, a new “green” library on the Island of
Hawaii, will be dedicated in a grand opening ceremony and program on
Monday, November 8, 2010 at 11 a.m. The Library will officially open
at noon.
North Kohala Public Library offers creative and innovative design
features such as wind and photovoltaic energy systems, water
catchments and retention systems, and design elements to maximize
ambient lighting and ventilation. It is anticipated that the North
Kohala Public Library will be the first HSPLS library to achieve the
coveted LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold
Certification.
The $7.8 million, 6,000 square foot Library was designed by CDS
International on a 3.8 acre parcel of land donated by Surety Kohala
Corporation. It replaces Bond Memorial Public Library which has
served the community of Kohala for 81 years, and closed its doors
for the last time on October 18, 2010.
North Kohala Public Library features: shelving capacity of
35,000 materials; a spacious circulation desk area; 10 public
computers (twice the amount of the current facility) offering
Internet access, database searching, word processing and other
software, and a meeting room to host community gatherings, events,
and Library programs.
