About

The ‘Aiea Public Library is an authorized Passport Acceptance Facility. Learn about passport processing hours and requirements.

Welcome to the ‘Aiea Public Library! Designed by architect Glenn Miura of CDS International and built on the site of the former ‘Aiea Sugar Mill, our library opened on July 19, 2014. Our $10.4 million library replaces the original library building at 99-143 Moanalua Road. It includes features to reduce electricity costs such as a high-efficiency air-conditioning system and photovoltaic solar panels. In August 2014, ‘Aiea Public Library was awarded the coveted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification.

therapy dogs

This program is designed to give people a chance to enjoy reading aloud with no pressure and no judgment. However, if you don’t want to read to the dog, you can just visit. The registered therapy dogs of K9 Therapets Hawaii visit every 2nd Thursday of the month!  All the dogs that participate are specially trained and can help kids of all ages practice reading aloud without judgment.  If you want a comfortable setting to practice your reading fluency, reading comprehension, or comfort with canines in general, this is the event for you.

A sign-up sheet for 20 minute sessions with a dog will be available on the meeting room door on the day of the program. Walk-ins welcome as space permits.
